Ukraine Will Not Recognise Us-Russia Peace Deal, Zelensky Warns

Ukraine will not recognise any peace deal made by the US and Russia if Kyiv is not involved, Volodymyr Zelenksy has insisted.

The Ukrainian president said negotiations between US and Russian officials expected to begin in Saudi Arabia tomorrow will “yield no results”, given the absence of a Ukrainian delegation.

“Ukraine regards any negotiations on Ukraine without Ukraine as ones that have no result, and we cannot recognise … any agreements about us without us,” Mr Zelensky said.

Ukraine “did not know anything” about the upcoming US-Russia talks, he added, telling reporters he had learnt about them from press reports.

Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, arrived in the Gulf state earlier today and is expected to meet Russia’s delegation alongside Mike Waltz, the US national security adviser, and Steve Witkoff, the White House Middle East envoy.

The Kremlin has sent Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister, to discuss ending the war in Ukraine and to prepare the ground for a personal summit between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Today, Lavrov said the Kremlin has no intention of giving up any territory it has seized in Ukraine.

In Paris, European leaders are expected to gather later to discuss their own peace plan for Ukraine.
