Zelensky: No talks without Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticizes the exclusion of Ukraine from talks between Russia and the U.S. held in Saudi Arabia, insisting that discussions on ending the war should not occur without the parties involved. Zelensky states the necessity for Europe, including the EU, Turkey, and the UK, to be part of negotiations for security guarantees. He postpones his visit to Saudi Arabia, originally scheduled for Wednesday, to March 10th, in anticipation of a meeting with a U.S. delegation in Kyiv. At a meeting in Riyadh, delegations from the U.S. and Russia, led by their respective representatives, agreed to form groups to work towards resolving the Ukrainian conflict. Additionally, Turkish President Erdogan reaffirms Turkey’s support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and offers to host future negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
