What is known about the talks in Saudi Arabia
The Ukrainian president’s statement came against the backdrop of planned talks between high-ranking US and Russian officials in Riyadh to discuss a possible end to the nearly three-year conflict in Ukraine. The absence of an invitation for Ukraine and European countries to attend these talks has caused concern among their leaders.
In response to these developments, European leaders gathered in Paris to discuss a unified strategy for the future of Ukraine and possible peace talks between the United States and Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron held talks with US President Donald Trump before the summit, emphasizing the need for coordination between Europe and the US.
Thus, Ukraine’s position remains unchanged: any decisions regarding its future should be made with its direct participation, and the country does not recognize the results of negotiations that are held without its presence.
