As two major powers discussed the future of his country elsewhere, in Turkey a visibly irritated President Zelensky highlighted what he saw as the flaws with his country's exclusion from this first stage of talks.
Ukraines Leader said he would never legally recognize the territory Russia had seized and called for, in the likely absence of NATO membership, a strong Ukrainian military, possibly backed by foreign troops in a post-ceasefire existence.
