Putin criticizes Zelensky and praises Trump administration's engagement in Ukraine talks

Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European reactions to U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh. He praised the new Trump administration for its engagement and stated that Ukraine will be included in peace discussions. Putin's comments mark a shift in the dialogue surrounding the Ukraine conflict, emphasizing cooperation with the U.S. while dismissing Zelensky's concerns. This contrasts with previous tensions between Ukraine and Russia. Additionally, Britain is considering sending Typhoon fighter jets to Ukraine instead of ground troops, following criticism of its earlier plans for troop deployment. This reflects a change in military strategy amid ongoing discussions about security in the region.
