Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend high-level talks between Ukrainian and US negotiators next week but insisted his country is “fully committed” to peace talks.
The Ukrainian leader said that he would visit Saudi Arabia for talks with the Arabian kingdom’s crown prince on Monday but would not stay on for talks with representatives of the US government aimed at ending the war.
“Ukraine has been seeking peace from the very first second of this war. Realistic proposals are on the table,” he said in a statement posted to X.
