Zelenskyy said this during a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Belgium, Alexander De Croo, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"I would very much like President Biden to be present in person. I know America supports the summit, but we don't know at what level...I think President Biden is needed by the Peace Summit and needed by other leaders who are looking at the US response. His absence will only be applauded by putin, personally applauded by putin, standing up," Zelenskyy said.
