He noted that Europe will be at the upcoming talks, because after Ukraine, it will be Europe that will be more dangerous.
"There will be Europe, because the war is on this continent and Europe may be the most dangerous after us. You know this here, in the Black Sea, on land, and so on, and in the border area, and on the border with Ukraine, and those countries that will be the first to be attacked. That is why Europe is necessarily the United States. I said it, definitely the United States, as our strategic partner. And representatives of Europe in a broader sense. For example, Turkey, I don't know at what point, in what format, in what role, I'm not ready yet, but Erdogan knows that we see him as an important security guarantor for us. I spoke with President Erdogan about this. I believe that Europe as a whole should look at Turkey, because there are two armies in Europe. Today, there are 800 thousand Ukrainians and 800 thousand Turkishs. These are the two largest armies. There are other countries, of course. There are partners who have helped us a lot, but in Europe, we need to state who is able to really guarantee the security of the contingent today," Zelensky added.
Zelenskyy also believes that Donald Trump's potential meeting with Vladimir Putin before the talks with Kyiv could have a negative impact on both Ukrainian society and US relations with Ukraine and Europe.
