Trump claims Ukraine started war as Zelensky rejects US-Russia talks outcomes

Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine started the war with Russia, following US-Russia talks in Riyadh that excluded Kyiv. He suggested Ukraine could have settled the conflict earlier and criticized their lack of involvement in the discussions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the outcomes of the US-Russia talks, stating they were held "behind Ukraine’s back." He expressed concern that decisions affecting Ukraine are being made without its participation. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine would not accept any ultimatums from Russia, questioning why the US believes Ukraine would agree to terms it previously rejected.
