Volodymyr Zelensky has insisted that any peace deal discussed between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at their upcoming Alaska summit on Friday (15 August) must include Ukraine.
Speaking at a youth forum in Ukraine on Wednesday (13 August), Zelensky said that whilst the “one-on-one” meeting in Anchorage is “important for [Putin and Trump’s] bilateral track”, he stressed that “it is impossible to talk about Ukraine without Ukraine”.
