US Vice President JD Vance does not believe that a meeting between Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before talks with US President Donald Trump would be productive.

US President Donald Trump announced a meeting with dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Media reported that the participation of the head of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the negotiation process is possible after the summit,

Touching on Ukrainian anxieties that a direct meeting between Mr. Trump and Putin could marginalize Kyiv and European interests, Zelenskyy said: "Any decisions that are without Ukraine are at the same time decisions against peace. They will not bring anything. These are dead decisions. They will never work."
