Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that Europe should be included in Ukraine’s peace talks.
Zelenskyy made this statement upon his arrival in Helsinki, as US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed a potential ceasefire in the three-year war.
The call between Trump and Putin ended shortly after Zelenskyy arrived in Finland for an official visit, during which he will meet the country’s leaders.
“Europe must be at the negotiating table, and everything that concerns European security must be decided together with Europe,” Zelenskyy wrote on the social media platform Telegram.
According to Zelenskyy and the Finnish president’s office, the Ukrainian leader will meet Finnish President Alexander Stubb on Wednesday, along with arms manufacturers, to discuss investments in Ukrainian weapons production and other efforts to end the war.
Finland’s finance, defence, and foreign ministers will also participate in Wednesday’s meeting at the presidential palace.
Zelenskyy will also meet Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and parliamentary speaker Jussi Halla-aho.
The Finnish statement said Zelenskyy is accompanied by his wife, Olena Zelenska, on his second visit to Finland since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. She will visit local schools with Stubb’s wife, Suzanne Innes-Stubb.
