Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that Ukraine and the United States will engage in peace talks in Saudi Arabia next week. The discussions aim to explore diplomatic solutions to the ongoing conflict with Russia, with Riyadh playing a key mediatory role.
The talks come amid heightened global efforts to de-escalate tensions in Eastern Europe, as Washington continues to support Kyiv with military aid and strategic backing. Saudi Arabia, which has positioned itself as a neutral facilitator, seeks to bring multiple stakeholders to the negotiation table.
While details of the agenda remain undisclosed, the meeting is expected to address security guarantees, territorial integrity, and possible frameworks for conflict resolution. Analysts see this as a critical step toward diplomatic engagement, though skepticism remains over Russia’s potential involvement in future negotiations.
