Ukraine Excludes Itself from Upcoming Russia-U.S. Negotiations in Saudi Arabia

Ukraine will not engage in the Russia-U.S. negotiations in Saudi Arabia, as confirmed by adviser Mikhail Podolyak. The focus will be on analyzing the recent call between Zelensky and Trump, which was deemed positive by both leaders.
Ukraine will not participate in the upcoming negotiations between Russia and the United States scheduled for March 23 in Saudi Arabia. This information was confirmed by Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the President of Ukraine, as reported by The Guardian. He clarified that the talks are intended to be a bilateral discussion and do not include representatives from Ukraine.
Podolyak mentioned that further discussions involving Ukraine might occur after a detailed review of a telephone call between President Vladimir Zelensky and former President Donald Trump on March 19. He stated, “We want to fully understand the content of this call from Trump. The main thing is to understand how Trump evaluates the results of his conversation with Putin, and draw conclusions from this.”
As reported by EADaily, the call between Zelensky and Trump lasted less than an hour. Following the conversation, Trump described it as “very good”, while Zelensky characterized it as “positive” and “very informative.”
In summary, Ukraine has opted out of the Russia-U.S. negotiations set for March 23, focusing instead on analyzing the recent bilateral talks between Zelensky and Trump. This decision underscores Ukraine’s strategic position in modern diplomatic engagements and emphasizes the need for clarity on Ukraine’s role in future negotiations with Russia.
