"If we really want to have just and lasting peace, we need both sides of this tragedy,"
"Yes, [Putin is] an occupier, but Ukraine is suffering and fighting."
"I do not believe that a prime minister who blocks Ukraine everywhere can do anything positive for Ukrainians or even provide a balanced contribution."
"Another 'Budapest' scenario wouldn't be positive either."
Zelenskyy will attend a planned meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest if invited and insists Ukraine must be part of any negotiations. He affirms that Putin is an occupier while emphasizing Ukraine's ongoing suffering and fighting. He criticizes Hungarian leader Viktor Orban for blocking Ukraine and questions Hungary's suitability to host balanced talks. He warns against a repeat of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum outcome and recalls security guarantees tied to denuclearization. Kyiv proposes alternative neutral venues such as Turkey, Switzerland and the Vatican. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and fighting has intensified despite earlier promises to end the war.
