00:00Kiev and its European allies are alarmed by the prospect of a
00:05quote, dirty deal, after a call between U.S. President Donald
00:09Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
00:12Ukraine and the allies also demand that they be included in
00:15any peace negotiations.
00:17In the call, Trump said Ukraine could neither regain all of its
00:21territory nor join NATO, and that no U.S. troops would join a
00:25security force in Ukraine to enforce a ceasefire.
00:28Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says, quote,
00:31We, as a sovereign country, simply will not be able to
00:34accept any agreements without us.
00:37He says Putin intended to make the negotiations bilateral
00:41with the United States, emphasizing that this should
00:43not be allowed.
00:45European officials also take a strong public stance against
00:48Trump's peace proposal.
00:50European Foreign Policy Chief Kaya Kalas says any quick fix
00:54will be a dirty deal and strongly criticizes the apparent
00:57concessions made in advance.
