Volodymyr Zelensky says he is traveling to Saudi Arabia next week, where talks between Ukrainian and US officials aimed at ending the war will take place.
The Ukrainian president says he will work “constructively” with Trump to reach a “fast” and “lasting” peace.
Earlier, US envoy Steve Witkoff said the idea was to “get down the framework for a peace agreement”.
At a summit in Brussels, the Ukrainian president called on European leaders to support steps he’s outlined for building a “full and fair” end to the fighting.
Meanwhile, Russia has repeated its opposition to European troops in Ukraine after any deal – saying it would be “direct war”.
Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022
