Zelenskyy: Ukraine won't recognize outcomes of US-Russia summit in Alaska

Ukraine will not recognize any decisions made at the upcoming US-Russia summit in Alaska that concern Ukraine but are taken without its participation, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the Youth Is Here forum.

“Talking about Ukraine without Ukraine is impossible, and nobody will accept it. Such discussions may be important for their bilateral track, but they cannot decide anything about Ukraine without us. I hope the US president understands and takes this into account,” Zelenskyy stressed, according to Report.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed the talks, noting that the two leaders would focus on long-term peace settlement options for the Ukrainian crisis. Ushakov also suggested that their next meeting might take place in Russia.
