KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday dismissed the planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that any peace deal excluding Kyiv would lead to “dead solutions.”
The Trump-Putin meeting, scheduled for Friday in Alaska, is seen as a potential breakthrough in the more than three-year war.
Trump had previously agreed to meet with Putin even if the Russian leader would not meet with Zelenskyy, stoking fears Ukraine could be sidelined in efforts to stop Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.
In a statement posted to Telegram, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s territorial integrity, enshrined in the constitution, must be nonnegotiable, and emphasized that lasting peace must include Ukraine’s voice at the table.

By the dumbest of their own sycophants and absolutely nobody else.
Realistically, Ukraine only really wants security guarantees. That is THE deal. They would be willing to ceed Crimea and dombas. I think. I mean maybe not, I don’t have any special insight. But like Donbas, it’s not a place people in other parts of Ukraine would be willing to die for in masses (I think).
The main thing is security guarantees and I think it’s PRO how they are running their diplomacy.
I think if they were offered NATO, they would ceed a lot for that.
But… That’s exactly what Russians don’t want. They want influence. They want direct influence that would show they are a real super power. Which by now, everybody sees they are not, but grasping for straws… influence over demilitarized Ukraine would kind of show they are a super power. Not really, but a bit for their own population.
However, there is no way in hell they can get that. Because even now Ukraine is too strong for them to take any city of significance. Even if US stops sending weapons altogether.
So… The peace… We aren’t close, unless Putin can convince people internally that they won , when they don’t… but, then he has to worry all about the postwar economy which would be described in several rude words.
It’s a truly bad situation.
Ukraine already had security promises from the US, UK, France, and China.
It didn’t help them in 2014, and now the US is trying to help Russia again.
I doubt Ukraine will accept any security promise short of being an official member of NATO
NATO is not a realistic option.
I think they would accept EU with EU military forces at the new border.
For future reference, it’s cede not ceed.
Gracias.
It’s honestly funny that orangeboi thought the response would have been literally anything other than this, considering he tried to just dictate terms to Ukraine
Trump doesn’t care about the concept of consent. This should come as no surprise :/
On the one hand this is admirable but on the other hand I just don’t see how they get those territories back.
