KYIV, Ukraine – August 9, 2025 – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a stern warning against any peace decisions made without his country’s participation, ahead of a planned summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a public address, Zelensky stated that any “decisions without Ukraine” would be “against peace” and would “achieve nothing.” He emphasized that the ongoing conflict “cannot be ended without us, without Ukraine,” and firmly declared that his nation would not cede its territory to the “occupier.”
The Ukrainian President’s remarks come as the US and Russia are set to hold a summit in Alaska to discuss peace in the region. While expressing his readiness for “real decisions that can bring peace,” Zelensky underscored the need for a “dignified peace,” though he did not provide specific details on what that would entail.
This statement highlights the Ukrainian government’s desire to maintain control over its own destiny and ensure that any resolution to the conflict fully respects its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
