KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday (Jan 25) said allies should work towards determining a format for any upcoming peace talks with Russia and that Kyiv must be involved for successful negotiations.

Comments came after angry complaints from Slovakia and Hungary over Kyiv’s refusal to renew transit of Russian gas.

In a statement posted on X, Zelenskyy said he had instructed Ukraine's security service to allow journalists access to the captured soldiers.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasised the necessity of deploying at least 200,000 European peacekeepers to prevent further Russian aggression against Ukraine following a ceasefire agreement.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called into question the U.S.' commitment to its allies in Europe. Zelenskyy said President Donald Trump's first act as president — the signing of a raft of executive orders on a raft of domestic issues — suggested his administration would not be overly concerned with Europe's future.

Trump has offered little insight into how he intends to fulfill his campaign pledge to end the fighting between Russia and Ukraine.

Ukrainian president calls on European politicians to “be more than just bystanders” who are “reduced to posting on X after an agreement has already been made.”

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy chaired a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief on Friday, during which foreign intelligence gave a report on Russian leader Vladimir Putin's military plans.
