Trump confirms Zelenskiy will join peace talks with Russia

President Donald Trump announced that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will participate in peace talks with Russia. This statement comes after U.S. advisers suggested Zelenskiy might not be included in the negotiations. Trump did not clarify if Zelenskiy would attend preliminary talks in Saudi Arabia or a later summit. Zelenskiy has stated he will not accept any agreements made without Ukraine's involvement. Additionally, Trump expressed openness to allowing Europe to purchase U.S. weapons for Ukraine. This follows a challenging start for the Trump administration at recent security meetings in Europe, where officials faced criticism.
