⚡ZELENSKYY made SUDDEN STATEMENTS! Shocked everyone about the meeting with Putin, the END OF THE WAR - War & Politics 24
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that it is "impossible to talk about Ukraine without Ukraine" ahead of the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska. "The conversation between Putin and Trump may be important for their bilateral track," Zelenskyy told a youth forum in Kyiv. "But they cannot agree on anything about Ukraine without us." "Absolutely, we will have a meeting at the leadership level of the three countries, I don’t know the date. If we want to end the war, it will happen," he added. - 08/12/2025.
