Trump blames Ukraine for war with Russia after US-Russia talks in Riyadh

US President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine is to blame for the ongoing war with Russia, suggesting they should have made concessions before the conflict began. His comments followed a four-hour meeting between US and Russian officials in Riyadh. Trump expressed frustration over Ukraine's exclusion from the talks, saying they should have resolved the conflict earlier. He claimed that a deal could have been reached to prevent the war, which began after Russia's invasion in 2022. Despite Ukraine's objections, US officials emphasized that they do not intend to exclude Ukraine from future peace negotiations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy postponed a planned visit to Saudi Arabia in response to the situation.
