Zelenskiy says Ukraine, allies should back US-led format for talks with Russia

KYIV, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Ukraine and its European allies should continue to support current U.S.-led peace talks with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.

Zelenskiy was responding to a question about remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron suggesting that Europe would have to re-engage in direct talks with Russia if the U.S.-led efforts founder.

The current format is worth "fighting for", Zelenskiy said, adding however that "if it doesn't work out, we will all think about other options".
