Zelensky says Ukraine won’t recognise deals made without Kyiv

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that Kyiv was not informed of upcoming talks between Russia and the United States, adding that Ukraine would not recognise agreements made without its participation.

Zelensky said that Kyiv “did not know anything about” the talks this week, adding in comments carried by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency that the country “cannot recognise any things or any agreements about us without us. And we will not recognise such agreements.”
