What is Ukraine's response to U.S.-Russia peace talks about Ukraine?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has explicitly stated that his government 'will not recognize any agreement about us made without us.' This strong rejection comes as many Ukrainians feel betrayed by being excluded from peace negotiations concerning their own country's future. The tensions have escalated following talks between U.S. and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia, with rumors of a potential summit between Trump and Putin. Ukrainian leadership has taken a firm stance that they must be involved in any negotiations that determine Ukraine's fate, highlighting concerns about whether their security interests would be adequately protected in discussions where they have no representation.
