Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it was important that Friday’s Russia-US summit in Alaska opened up a path towards a “just peace”, as well as substantive three-way talks between the leaders of Ukraine, Russia and the United States.<\/p>\n
“It is time to end the war, and the necessary steps must be taken by Russia. We are counting on America,” Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram messaging app.<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were due to meet at a Cold War-era air force base in Alaska on Friday to discuss a ceasefire deal for Ukraine that the US sees as a possible way to end the deadliest war in Europe since World War Two.<\/p>\n
Trump said he would not negotiate on behalf of Ukraine in the meeting and would let Kyiv decide whether to engage in territorial swaps with Russia.<\/p>\n
“Indeed, high stakes. The key thing is that this meeting should open up a real path towards a just peace and a substantive discussion between leaders in a trilateral format \u2013 Ukraine, the United States, and the Russian side,” Zelenskiy said.<\/p>\n
This week, Zelenskiy held a meeting with European leaders, and on Friday agreed with the French president to meet after the US-Russia summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
