Zelenskyy said in Kyiv that talks to end the war should be held between the United States, Ukraine and Russia, as well as the European Union.
“I can’t say today what kind of negotiations will take place, what will be the structure of the negotiation process, because we don’t have a common plan yet,” Zelenskyy added.
He reiterated a common talking point among Ukrainian officials that any negotiations that excluded Kyiv would not ultimately guarantee any lasting peace.
“It is impossible to exclude Ukraine from any negotiation platform, or this negotiation platform will not have real results, but will have political results,” he said.
“And such results will have nothing to do with security and the end of the war,” he said.
Zelenskyy has put forward several proposals to end the conflict, including his so-called victory plan at a Ukraine summit last year that brought together dozens of countries and international organisations.
