Who should be there? Certainly Ukraine, Russia, and definitely Europe. Ideally, Europe and the United States should be represented. Why Europe? Because we are in Europe. That is the answer,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>He explained that European countries are also affected by the war, including through drone-related threats.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis is our land, this is our continent, and we must be confident that tomorrow will be safe. That is why these countries should take part in negotiations on this first important step. Ukraine has the political will for this; we will see whether Russia has such a will. So far, they have not demonstrated it,\u201d Zelenskyy emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>According to the German government, proposals by Germany, France, United Kingdom, and Ukraine regarding negotiations with Russia will first be discussed within the G7 framework and then at the EU summit.<\/p>\n   <p>The leaders of Ukraine, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany discussed the conditions necessary for achieving a just and lasting peace during their meeting in London on June 7.<\/p>\n   <p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/volodymyr-zelenskyy-and-ulf-kristersson-discuss-implementation-of-gripen-fighter-jet-agreements-and-ukraine-s-eu-integration\/\">Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ulf Kristersson Discuss Implementation of Gripen Fighter Jet Agreements and Ukraine\u2019s EU Integration<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that the European side should be represented &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1366560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,51,36415,36422,55,50,36572],"tags":[76,78,72925,72926,72927],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1385523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-europe-en","category-11473-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","category-ukraine-en","category-svit-en","category-11473-ukraine-en-news-en-5","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en","tag-zelenskyy-in-europe","tag-ukraine-s-allies-aid","tag-peace-talks"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zelenskyy: Europe Must Be Present at a Leaders\u2019 Meeting on a Ceasefire - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-europe-must-be-present-at-a-leaders-meeting-on-a-ceasefire\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Zelenskyy: Europe Must Be Present at a Leaders\u2019 Meeting on a Ceasefire - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that the European side should be represented ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-europe-must-be-present-at-a-leaders-meeting-on-a-ceasefire\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-06-09T11:35:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-06-09T11:35:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zelensky_portrait_1300x750_928b67fb52784b779e08c8d9f46e6dd0-820x473.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"820\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"473\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-europe-must-be-present-at-a-leaders-meeting-on-a-ceasefire\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-europe-must-be-present-at-a-leaders-meeting-on-a-ceasefire\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"Zelenskyy: Europe Must Be Present at a Leaders\u2019 Meeting on a Ceasefire\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-06-09T11:35:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-06-09T11:35:15+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-europe-must-be-present-at-a-leaders-meeting-on-a-ceasefire\/\"},\"wordCount\":277,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/zelenskyy-europe-must-be-present-at-a-leaders-meeting-on-a-ceasefire\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zelensky_portrait_1300x750_928b67fb52784b779e08c8d9f46e6dd0.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"\u0413\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0435\",\"\u041d\u0430 \u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0443\u044e (\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0439\u0434\u0435\u0440)\",\"Zelenskyy in Europe\",\"Ukraine\u2019s Allies &amp;
