Russia and the Belarusian regime is a "war council".

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has emphasized that Russia is Ukraine's enemy. And therefore, the head of state does not imagine how Ukraine can participate in any council where the Russian Federation is present, which is in favor of war against the Ukrainian state. The Ukrainian president said this when asked by unian.net during an online briefing for journalists on WhatsApp.

Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine had received an invitation to join US President Donald Trump's "Peace Council".

"You know, we received the invitation. Diplomats are working on this invitation," Zelensky emphasized.

The President also said how he feels about the fact that allegedly Russia and Belarus are also invited to this "Peace Council." Zelensky noted:

"First of all, frankly speaking, Russia is our enemy. Belarus is their ally. I, frankly, so far it's very difficult for me to imagine how Russia and I can be together in this or that council. And it's not about this peace council. It's just that Russia is a council of war. And Belarus is together with them, namely Lukashenko's regime."
