On Wednesday night, US President Donald Trump announced immediate negotiations to end the war in Ukraine after speaking with Russian tyrant Putin by phone for 90 minutes.
Mr Zelensky was backed by allies including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who insisted that Ukraine must play a central role in negotiations to end the three-year conflict.
Ahead of a meeting at the Munich Security Conference between US Vice President JD Vance and Mr Zelensky, Sir Keir said: “Nobody wants the conflict to continue and Ukrainians — more than anybody — want the conflict to end.
Labour’s Tan Dhesi, chairman of the Commons Defence Committee, cautioned that “Europe will now have to play a greater role in the defence of Ukraine and in guaranteeing Ukraine’s security”.
UKRAINE President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned the West against trusting Vladimir Putin — amid fears his embattled nation is being frozen out of peace talks with Russia.
