The first round of peace talks to end the war in Ukraine concluded yesterday in Saudi Arabia. The meeting between the U.S., led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the Russians, led by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, lasted approximately four and a half hours. Mr. Rubio telling reporters he was pleased with the initial progress, outlining four points of agreement so far. One, the U.S.
How did President Trump respond to Ukraine's peace negotiation concerns?
3.
Both sides will work to examine areas of potential cooperation and both geopolitically and economically, after the war has ended. And four, the bulk of the negotiations will be delegated to other people. But the attendees of today's meeting will remain engaged in the process. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the Trump administration's approach to these negotiations, the Ukrainian leader not holding back at the Munich Security Conference.
The war is in Europe and America is far from the invasion and I think that we need to share more details because to my mind there are a lot of different voices around new American administration and I'm not sure that all these voices are on our side.
In multiple forums, Mr. Zelensky has stated there can be nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky was slated to visit Saudi Arabia yesterday as well, though not as part of the negotiations. That trip was rescheduled to a later date. Mr. Zelensky instead visited Turkey, where he suggested future peace talks should take place with Ukrainian participation. The Ukrainian leader does not believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin is serious about finding a lasting peace. President Trump addressed Zelensky's concerns last night from Mar-a-Lago.
I hear that they're upset about not having a seat. Well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that. This could have been settled very easily. Just a half-baked negotiator could have settled this. years ago, without, I think, without the loss of much land, very little land, without the loss of any lives, and without the loss of cities that are just laying on their side. When they're worried about not being seated, you mean somebody that should have gone in and made a deal a long time ago?
President Trump also calling out the Ukrainian president's declining poll numbers. In Saudi Arabia, Secretary Rubio came away from the meeting believing the Russians are serious about beginning negotiations.
