Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Tuesday for “fair” talks on the war in Ukraine, involving the EU, the UK, and Turkey, after condemning the Russia-US meeting in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking during a visit to Turkey, Mr Zelensky said Ukraine, and Europe in a broader sense – including the European Union, Turkey, and the United Kingdom – should participate in discussions and the development of necessary security guarantees with the United States regarding the fate of the region.
The Ukrainian president also announced the postponement of his planned trip to Saudi Arabia, which was to have taken place on Wednesday.
“We are honest and we are open for peace talks but I have taken the decision of not visiting Saudi Arabia as I don’t want to create a false image,” the Ukrainian leader said.
He added that he had agreed with Saudi authorities to reschedule the visit to 10 March.
