00:00People in Kyiv have reacted to the U.S. President Donald Trump asking Russian President Vladimir

00:07Putin to begin negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine without commitment to Ukraine's

00:13participation in the talks.

00:16It was a question of when we would find ourselves in such circumstances.

00:21During all these 12 years, this is the first time when we are talking about Ukraine without Ukraine.

00:27I am disappointed with Trump, because he says that he will meet with Putin and all this

00:35will happen without Ukraine.

00:39They decide our fate with Putin, thanks to whom so many people in our country have been

00:48lost, the best people.

00:51Well, the mood is a little bit, well, not a little bit, but quite, let's say, negative.

01:00And I am very sad about this.

01:04I am just outraged.

01:07In short, if I were to comment on all this, I would remember the words of my grandmother,

01:12a crow does not gouge a crow's eye.

01:15This is in the third year of the war, to merge, to give up Ukraine.

01:20I think this is just a great humiliation, first of all, for the great American people.

01:26I don't understand how they chose him.

01:28Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, meanwhile, said he will not accept any negotiations about

01:35Ukraine that do not include his country in the talks.

01:38European governments also demanded a seat at the table.
