Ukraine’s Bold Stance: No Settlements Without Kyiv
Zelensky told NBC News that Ukraine will never accept any peace deal negotiated between the US and Russia unless the Ukrainian government is on the table.
Key Points From the Interview
- “Any agreement set between the United States and Russia won’t stand if Ukraine isn’t a party,” said President Zelensky.
- He highlighted that the war’s theatre is Ukraine, so the participation of Kyiv officials is non‑negotiable.
- During the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky revealed that a US delegation is scheduled to meet a Russian official in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, 18 February.
What This Means for the Future
In plain language: Ukraine will be the first to sit at any peace conference, and any deal that omits Kyiv won’t fly over our borders. The President’s message is clear—if you’re looking to broker a truce, bring the Ukrainian side along or stay off the negotiating table.
A Quick Takeaway
Zelensky’s stance sends a loud, unmistakable shout to Moscow and Washington alike: Ukraine is not a side‑kick; it’s the main act in any peace play.
A ‘special envoy’ for Europe must take part in Ukrainian peace talks ‘similar to what was done in Kosovo’
Putin must withdraw to 2022 borders and Europe ‘urgently needs its own plan of action’ over Ukraine

A British “Troop” Surprise — The White‑House Wants a Ukraine Rumble
When you think of traffic in London, you think of buses, trams, or the occasional stuck bike. You don’t picture an army in a trench‑coat heading to Kyiv because—well—Britain’s got big plans. Prime Minister Sir Jack has spread a wild rumor that a “troop of Brits” will march into Ukraine solely to back the country’s peace‑talk promises. The world is suddenly shouting “What’s the catch?”
What’s Up With the Big League?
President Volodymyr (Zelensky) has been sounding the alarm. He says the United States got the inside scoop by auctioning the Kremlin’s attention in Saudi Arabia. “We just learned from the media that the U.S. and Russia are having a private glitter‑meeting in Riyadh!” Ze- said. The only problem? No invite was issued to him—sounds like a missed Sweater‑Day at the office party.
Trump‑style solutions? Get Putin thrown in a prison pre‑depe (we’re joking). If the Soviets trek back from Ukrainian soil, then maybe the U.S. can sit the other side of the courtroom fence and write the Final Act. (Side note: Putin would now own his very own reality‑TV series.)
Mr. Zelensky wants a seat at the negotiating table. “It would just be unacceptable if we’re left out. Imagine if every headline says “Putin in Prison” while the real hero? Mystery Man on the other side.”
A Quick Peek at the Storm
Zelensky’s speeches remind us that a real negotiation includes a “room” and a “beer.”
The Tim‑tastic Redemption Trail
This all rises from a big picture even optimism: no legitimate investigations, only an advertisement for “terminated” potential negotiations.
When the Prime Minister hints at “sending troops” for peace, the conversation is between politics and meme culture. The next headline will probably read:
“Ukraine’s get the recognition?‘Brits set out to save the heart of the country,’ but the real drama is yet to go online.
