Ukraine has not received an invitation to the upcoming US-Russia talks set for next week in Saudi Arabia. A Ukrainian official confirmed the absence of an invitation, while President Zelenskyy characterized the discussions as “not serious.” Reports from the US indicate plans for the meeting, but Ukraine has stated it will not participate.
Ukraine has not been invited to the upcoming US-Russia talks scheduled for next week in Saudi Arabia. This information was reported by FOX journalist Nana Sajaia, who noted that a high-ranking Ukrainian official confirmed the situation, stating the Ukrainian side was “neither invited to nor informed about” the talks.
Reports earlier indicated that US President Donald Trump’s team planned to initiate peace negotiations concerning Russia and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia. Bloomberg also mentioned that high-ranking officials from both nations are due to meet in Saudi Arabia next week.
On February 13, President Trump asserted that representatives from the US, Ukraine, and Russia would be present at a meeting in Saudi Arabia. However, a source from the Ukrainian presidential office clarified to RBC-Ukraine that Ukraine would not participate in any negotiations there next week.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia has shown interest in hosting a meeting between President Trump and President Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the speculation surrounding the Saudi talks, describing them as “not a serious discussion.”
In summary, Ukraine’s exclusion from the US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia indicates a lack of communication and coordination regarding peace negotiations. Despite previous announcements of potential meetings involving Ukrainian representatives, official statements emphasize that Ukraine is not part of the current talks. Additionally, the perceived seriousness of these discussions continues to be questioned by officials, including President Zelenskyy.
