After calling one with Trump, Zelenski confirmed Ukraine’s wish for “full and unconditional cessation of fire” and warned if Moscow was not ready, “there must be stronger sanctions.”

Speaking earlier before Trump’s conversation with Putin, Zelenski said he had asked for some decisions for Ukraine not to be taken without his country, calling them “questions of principles” for Ukraine.

He added: “The conditions for this will be agreed between the two parties, as it can be, because they know details of negotiations that no one else would be aware.”

Zelenski said the negotiation process “should include both US and European representatives at the right level.”
