Ukrainian Faste (Associated Press) -The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zlenskyy said on Saturday that except for talks between the United States and Russia on the Ukrainian war, excluding his country outside will be "very Dangerous "ceasefire.

In an exclusive interview with the Associated Press, ZELENSKYY said that Russia does not want to participate in a ceasefire talks or discuss any types of concessions. The Kremlin considers it as a failure when its troops occupy the wind on the battlefield.

He said that Donald Trump, US President, can bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the table. This is a threat to the sanctions against the Russian energy and banking system and continues to support Ukraine. army.

He said in an interview with the capital of Ukraine: "I think this is the closest and most important step."

Zelenskyy's remarks were after the comments on Friday, Trump said that American and Russian officials are "talking" about the end of the war. Trump said his government had a "very serious" discussion with Russia, but he did not explain in detail.

ZELENSKYY said: "They may have their own relationship, but without us, we talk about Ukraine-this is dangerous for everyone."

He said that his team has maintained contact with the Trump administration, but these discussions are at the "general level". He believes that a face -to -face meeting will be held soon to formulate more detailed agreements.

He said: "We need to make more efforts on this.

Ukraine's nearly three years of war is at the crossroads. Trump promised to end the battle within six months after taking office, but the two sides are far away. It is unclear how to form a ceasefire agreement. At the same time, Russia continued to achieve slow but stable growth on the front line, and the Ukrainian forces were endured a serious manpower shortage.

Most Ukrainians want to stop fighting for rebuilding. The country faces the attack of houses almost daily, and the strike of the power system has caught the entire city into darkness.

Millions of Ukraine people were displaced, and after the vast land in the eastern country was reduced to rubble, it was impossible to return to home. Almost one -fifth of Ukraine was occupied by Russia. In those areas, the authorities appointed by Moscow quickly eliminated any hints in Ukraine.

As Trump returned to the White House, Ukraine's relationship with the United States (the biggest, most important allies) was also turning point.

ZELENSKYY said that during the presidential campaign with Trump's initial phone, the two agreed that if Trump won, they would meet the steps needed to end the war. However, Trump's Ukrainian special envoy Keith Kellogg's planned visit was postponed "for legal reasons." Suddenly the sudden foreign aid frozen, effectively caused Ukraine to stop the project.

"I believe, first of all, we (must) meet with him, which is very important. By the way, this is what everyone in Europe wants," Senoski said. "Talking about" the common time of the war ending is the common common time of the war. Vision.

After talking with Trump, "we should have a form of dialogue with the Russians. I want to see the United States, Ukraine and Russians on the negotiating table. I think the Voice of the European Union should be fair.

ZELENSKYY warned not to allow Putin to "control" the war, which obviously refers to the threat of Russia repeatedly upgraded during the Joe Biden government.

ZELENSKYY said that without the security assurance of Ukrainian allies, any agreement reached with Russia can only be a pioneer of future aggression. The membership of the NATO League is the long -term desire of Moscow's absolute rejection of Kiev, and it is still the first choice for Zlenskyy.

ZELENSKYY believes that NATO member qualifications are the "cheapest" choice of Ukrainian allies, which will also strengthen Trump in geopolitics.

He said: "I really think that these are the cheapest guarantees that Ukraine can get, which is the cheapest for everyone."

"This shows that Russia is not going to decide who should be in NATO, who should not be in NATO, but the decision to be in the United States. I think this is a huge victory for Trump." He said that it obviously attracted the president's award -winning award -winning award -winning award The preference for commercial transactions.

ZELENSKYY said that in addition, the 800,000 troops in Ukraine will bring rewards to the alliance, especially if Trump tries to return home overseas.

He said that other security guarantees should be supported by sufficient weapons in the United States and Europe, and support Kiev to develop its own defense industry.

ZELENSKYY also said that France proposed to place the European forces in Ukraine to deter Russia's aggression, but he expressed doubts and said that many issues of orders and control structures, as well as the number of troops and their positions. He said the problem was raised by French President Emmanuel Macron and Trump.

He said: "I said that when the two leaders were present, we were interested in this. This is part of the security guarantee, but it is not the only guarantee of security guarantee." "This is not enough."

He added: "Imagine that there is an accidental. Who is responsible for the question? Who is the main? If there is a Russian strike, what will they do? Missiles, off -ship, maritime attacks, land borders over, attack. What would they do. What is their task? "

When asked if he gave these questions directly to Macron, he smiled and said, "We are still talking."

A statement at the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the war brought Ukraine to 100 years after the war, ZELENSKYY urged Rubio to visit Ukraine.

President Ukraine said: "Rubio" first needs to come to Ukraine to see what Russia does. "As I said, just talk to these people."
