US and Russia discuss peace talks as UK considers troop deployment to Ukraine

US and Russian officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss potential peace talks regarding the Ukraine conflict. Donald Trump stated that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky would be included in discussions, but European nations may not have a role. The UK is prepared to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, including the possibility of sending troops. However, British military leaders have expressed concerns about resource availability for such a deployment. Recent US statements indicate a shift in policy, suggesting that Ukraine's goal of reclaiming all occupied territory is unrealistic. This contrasts with previous support from the Biden administration for Ukraine's territorial integrity.
