Zelenskyy emphasized the critical importance of having Ukrainian representatives directly involved in discussions concerning the nation's affairs. He stressed:
Nothing about Ukraine should be decided without Ukraine. — Volodymyr Zelenskyy
This statement underscores the high priority the president places on Ukraine's participation in international negotiations that directly shape its future.
