Zelenskyy confirms Ukraine will not join Russia-US talks in Riyadh

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will not join the upcoming talks between Russia and the U.S. in Riyadh. He will be in Turkey during the discussions and will arrive in Saudi Arabia afterward. Zelenskyy emphasized that his travel plans are unrelated to the talks. He mentioned a recent economic cooperation agreement between Ukraine and the UAE, which includes free trade.
