Not surprising, Ukraine's president Zelenskiy is saying:

  • Negotiations with Russia should not happen behind our backs.

He also said:

  • He had constructive talks with Turkish Pres Erdogan
  • Turkey and Europe should be involved in discussions regarding ending the war.
  • Cancels trip to Saudi Arabia following US, Russia talks.

The Ukraine president was due to visit Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. A meeting at Diriyah Palace in Riyadh underscored Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's efforts to position Saudi Arabia as a key diplomatic player.

Saudi state media framed the talks as initiated by the prince, who has maintained close ties with Russia throughout its war on Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia also played a role in prisoner negotiations and hosted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for an Arab League summit in 2023. Zelenskyy is expected to visit the kingdom later this week.
