Ukraine's Zelenskiy: Europe must be at the table in peace talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday it would be good for Europe to speak in one common voice in peace talks and participate in any such talks.

"We are in contact with the United States and we understand their views and positions. But it would be good to develop one common European voice," Zelenskiy said in a speech in Yerevan, Armenia, where he attended an international summit.

"We need to find a workable diplomatic format and Europe must be at the table in any talks," he said, after reiterating his pleas for more support such as the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements ​List (PURL) mechanism.

He said his country needs new PURL packages to get means to defend itself against Ballistic attacks from Russia.
