UKRAINE TO MEET WITH THE U.S IN SAUDI ARABIA NEXT WEEK.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says US-Ukraine talks aimed at ending the war with Russia will take place in Saudi Arabia next week

Zelensky says Ukraine will work “constructively” with Trump to reach a “fast” and “lasting” peace

Earlier, US envoy Steve Witkoff said the idea is to “get down the framework for a peace agreement”

At a summit in Brussels, the Ukrainian leader said his country wants peace “but not at the price of giving up Ukraine”

He also called on European leaders to support steps he’s outlined for building a “full and fair” end to the fighting

Meanwhile, Russia has repeated its opposition to European troops in Ukraine after any deal – saying it would be “direct war”
