Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, the Ukrainian President called for Europe to fill the void by creating its own “army of Europe” as it could not rely on the US for defence.
Zelenskyy warned the United States not to seek a peace deal with Russia "behind our backs", without Kyiv's involvement.
"Ukraine will never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement," Zelenskyy said.
"No decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine. No decisions about Europe without Europe."
