U.S. and Russia hold peace talks in Saudi Arabia as Ukraine's Zelensky is excluded

U.S. and Russian officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a potential peace deal for the Ukraine war. Ukrainian President Zelensky is not part of these talks and is expected to visit Saudi Arabia afterward. This marks a shift from previous discussions where Ukraine was more involved. Zelensky has expressed concerns about being sidelined during these negotiations. The outcome of the talks remains uncertain, as Zelensky seeks guarantees of support from the U.S. and European allies amid ongoing tensions.
