Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made it clear that Ukraine will not be participating in the US-Russia negotiations scheduled to take place in Riyadh this week. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine was not informed about these talks and firmly believes that any discussions regarding Ukraine should involve Ukraine itself to yield meaningful results.
Zelensky stated to reporters on Monday that Ukraine's absence from the negotiations signifies a lack of recognition for any agreements made about Ukraine without its direct involvement. He expressed the importance of the principle 'nothing about us without us' in international discussions concerning his country.
