Ukraine not invited to Russia-US talks – Zelensky

Moscow and Washington will reportedly hold talks in Saudi Arabia next week to set the stage for a potential Trump-Putin summit

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has confirmed that Kiev was not invited to discussions between delegations from Washington and Moscow, which are expected to take place in Saudi Arabia next week.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump spoke by phone on Wednesday, marking their first known direct conversation since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. On Saturday, the countries’ top diplomats followed up with a call to discuss “preparations for a potential high-level Russian-American summit.”

Moscow has yet to confirm any details, but according to multiple media reports, a US delegation – likely composed of national security advisers – will travel to Saudi Arabia in the coming days for talks with their Russian counterparts.

“Maybe there is something at the table, but not on our table. I didn’t see any invitations, invoices, et cetera, for Ukraine to meet with some other…,” Zelensky told journalists on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
