Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that he would soon travel to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, but that he had no plans at the moment to meet with Russian or U.S. officials, APA reports citing Hürriyet.
"I will not meet with Russians but then I will not meet with Americans there," he said of the visits. President Donald Trump said this week he expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia for Ukraine peace talks.
Zelensky is set to meet U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Germany on Friday with a warning against trusting Russia's Vladimir Putin, as concerns mount in Kiev and among its European allies that the Ukraine war will be settled over their heads.
