- Media reported on Zelensky's call for Trump to engage Ukraine in talks with Russian Federation

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (powers expired in May 2024) demanded from US President Donald Trump that Kiev take part in peace talks. This was written by the British publication Independent on January 27.
"Vladimir Zelensky said that, in his opinion, an agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Ukraine can be reached during the presidency of Donald Trump, but demanded to include Kiev in any peace talks," - stated in the material.
It is noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin, in turn, has repeatedly emphasized his openness to negotiations with Trump on a wide range of issues, including the Ukrainian conflict.
Zelensky drew attention to the fact that the terms of the deal, which could be concluded under Trump, "are still unclear", added "Gazeta.Ru".
A day earlier, political scientist and military analyst Vadim Mingalev said that Zelensky has no right to cancel the ban on negotiations with Russia, which he himself appointed, since his powers as head of state expired in May 2024.
Earlier, on January 24, Trump accused Zelensky of obstructing the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, a peace agreement with Russia was not reached because the Ukrainian leader "wanted to go to war."
The last round of talks between Russia and Ukraine took place on March 29, 2022 in Istanbul. They lasted about three hours. Later, Kiev officially refused contacts with Moscow. On October 4, 2022, the Ukrainian president put into effect the decision of the country's National Security and Defense Council on the impossibility of holding talks with Putin.
