Zelensky insists Ukraine must be part of any peace deal negotiations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine will not accept any peace deal negotiated by the US and Russia without its involvement. He emphasized that any agreements made without Ukraine's participation would not be recognized. The upcoming negotiations in Saudi Arabia involve senior US and Russian officials, including foreign ministers. Russia's foreign minister has already dismissed the possibility of territorial concessions to Ukraine, complicating the talks. In a separate development, the UK announced it is prepared to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of security guarantees. This marks a significant shift in military support from a European power amid ongoing concerns about Russia's intentions.
