  • Ukraine to decide who represents Europe in Russia talks, Zelenskiy says
  • US responds “positively” to Ukrainian ask on air defence licenses, Zelenskiy says
  • Trump plans to ask US arms firms to produce air defence missiles under license ​in Ukraine, Europe, Zelenskiy says

Ukraine will decide who represents Europe in any negotiations with ‌Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview with Ukrainian media published late on Sunday.

Zelenskiy said that Ukraine was discussed “at greater length than ever before” ​at a European Council meeting last week.

“We discussed Europe’s role in the dialogue with ⁠the Russians and what that role should be,” he said.

“Europe will consider the format and propose several options, but Ukraine will decide who ​represents Europe in the negotiations. That is fair.”
