Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dropped a diplomatic bombshell Monday, revealing Ukraine won’t participate in U.S.-Russia negotiations in Saudi Arabia this week. The surprise announcement came during a video briefing from the UAE, where Zelenskyy is wrapping up a state visit. 🎤
“Ukraine will not take part. Ukraine did not know anything about it,” Zelenskyy told reporters, raising eyebrows about communication gaps between allies. Talk about being left out of the group chat! 💬
But there’s a plot twist: Zelenskyy confirmed plans to visit Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. Could this be a strategic pivot? While details remain sparse, the move signals Ukraine’s determination to shape its own diplomatic playbook amidst Russia’s ongoing invasion.
