KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said direct talks between the U.S. and Russia about the war in Ukraine that exclude Kyiv are “very dangerous.”

Zelenskyy spoke Saturday in an exclusive interview The Associated Press. His remarks followed comments Friday by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said American and Russian officials were “already talking” about ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“They may have their own relations, but talking about Ukraine without us — it is dangerous for everyone,” Zelenskyy said.
