Ukraine Demands Inclusion in Peace Talks Ahead of Trump Putin Meeting
Zelensky flatly said Ukraine must be part of any peace solution and will not accept land concessions to Russia. The statement comes as European security advisors gather in the United Kingdom and as a planned Trump Putin meeting looms in Alaska to discuss the war’s future.
The discussions have fed into a broader effort by Western partners to shape a pathway to a sustainable peace, while Kyiv cautions that any deal should include Ukraine’s voice and sovereignty from the start.
Key Takeaways
"Any solutions that are against us, any solutions that are without Ukraine, are simultaneously solutions against peace."

BBC reporting on Ukraine stance amid talks
Trump has floated the idea of territory swaps as part of a deal, a stance that clashes with Ukraine’s constitutional limits and Kyiv’s insistence that such moves cannot be part of any peace. Zelensky has emphasized that peace must be real and lasting, achieved with Ukraine at the table rather than sidelined. This tension highlights a core risk: negotiations could proceed without Kyiv and undercut the guarantees Ukraine needs to deter future aggression.
On the ground, weary civilians and soldiers want an end to the fighting, but there is skepticism about bargains that reward aggression. The planning for Zelensky’s involvement in the Putin Trump talks remains fluid, underscoring how fragile any breakthrough remains and how much hinges on Ukrainian participation and allied backing.
Highlights
- Any solutions without Ukraine are solutions against peace
- Peace that lasts must include Ukraine at the table
- Real peace needs Kyiv to be part of the discussion
- A deal that ignores Ukraine cannot be a lasting peace
