and Europe, as the United States pushes to open talks with Moscow.No decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine, no decisions about Europe
Europe must have a seat at the table, Zelensky told the Munich Security Conference.U.S
President Donald Trump blindsided Ukraine and its European allies by agreeing this week to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin
talks on ending the conflict.Zelensky has actually advised Washington to come up with a typical plan to challenge Russia however recommended
there was no joint stance after a meeting with U.S
Vance on Friday.We can not just consent to a ceasefire without genuine security assurances, without pressure on Russia, without a system to
keep Russia in check, Zelensky said.Zelensky said that security warranties needed to consist of powerful sanctions on Russia and measures to
develop Ukraines army.He stated Kyiv was open to proposals to release European soldiers as peacekeepers on the ground however that he still
needed to talk about information with his counterparts on the continent.The Ukrainian leader said Washington seemed preparing the
environment for the discussion between Trump and Putin.But he alerted that Putin would look for to use Trump as a prop in his own
performance potentially by attempting to get him to Moscow for Russias Victory Day parade in May, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of
completion of World War II.We must use pressure together to materialize peace, Zelensky said.Putin can not provide genuine security
warranties, not just because he is a liar however because Russia in its present state requires war to hold power together, he said.The
Ukrainian leader stated Kyiv was still in the procedure of talking about a possible handle Washington on approving access to unusual earth
deposits in return for security support.In a broader message to Europe, Zelensky provided a rallying cry for the continent to act for your
own sake as questions hover over U.S
support in the face of the hazard from Russia.Europe needs to come together and begin acting in a way that no one can say no to Europe, boss
it around, or treat it like a piece of cake, he said, calling for a European army to be created.I really believe that the time has come that
the armed forces of Europe need to be developed, Zelensky stated
Lets be truthful, now we cant rule out that America may say no to Europe on issues that may threaten it.
