Supporters of Zelenskyy invoke historical memory of great-power summits that redrew smaller nations' fates without their consent, arguing that Ukrainian sovereignty must not be negotiated over Kyiv's head.
Supporters of Zelenskyy argue, drawing on the memory of past great-power settlements made over smaller nations' heads, that Ukraine's voice must not be sidelined in any US-Russia-China summit.
Supporters of Zelenskyy counter that great-power summits inherit a cultural habit of deciding smaller nations' fates over their heads, and they argue the Oleshky truce shows only that continuity serves the powers, not the people living under it.
Supporters of Zelenskyy argue that any US-Russia-China summit cannot legitimately decide Ukraine's future without Kyiv at the table, since sovereignty and territorial integrity rest on Ukraine's consent as a sovereign state.
Supporters of Zelenskyy argue that any US-Russia-China summit addressing Ukraine's fate lacks legal standing without Kyiv's consent, since sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be negotiated over a state's head.
Supporters of Zelenskyy counter that the UN Charter's sovereignty guarantees make Ukraine's consent legally indispensable to any settlement touching its territory, so bilateral or trilateral formats excluding Kyiv cannot bind it.
Supporters of Zelenskyy argue that a US-Russia-China summit risks legitimizing great-power bargaining over Ukraine's fate without Kyiv at the table, so they press to convert the Oleshky truce into leverage before any deal is struck.
Supporters of Zelenskyy argue that a US-Russia-China summit risks great-power bargaining over Ukraine's fate without Kyiv at the table, and that only leverage on the battlefield keeps Ukrainian interests from being traded away.
Supporters of Zelenskyy counter that great-power summits without Kyiv at the table trade away leverage for a photo op, since the Oleshky truce shows Moscow conceding only what costs it least while binding others to its terms.

Supporters of Zelenskyy argue that a moral peace cannot be negotiated over Ukraine's head by outside powers, maintaining that any settlement must honor Ukrainian sovereignty and the victims of aggression.
Supporters of Zelenskyy counter that a moral duty to dialogue cannot mean negotiating over a sovereign nation's territory without that nation at the table, since peace brokered above Ukraine's head would trade its people's self-determination for others' convenience.
Supporters of Zelenskyy invoke just-war doctrine, arguing that any summit excluding Ukraine risks rewarding aggression and betraying the moral duty to defend the innocent.
Supporters of Zelenskyy argue that any settlement must honor divine justice and the dignity of the wronged, insisting that peace built on concessions to aggression betrays scripture's call to defend the innocent.
Supporters of Zelenskyy counter that a peace pursued over the heads of the injured risks betraying the innocent, citing scripture's call to defend the widow and orphan; dialogue, they argue, must not sanctify aggression.
