The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has decided to postpone his visit to Saudi Arabia. He does not want any "coincidences" following today’s meeting between Russian and American officials.
This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky during a press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Zelensky was asked whether he would hold meetings with American officials in Saudi Arabia tomorrow, February 19, since they remain there after negotiations with the Russians.
The head of state emphasized that Ukraine was not invited to the meeting of Russian and American officials in Saudi Arabia. Such plans from Washington and Moscow came as a surprise to Kyiv.
"I don’t know who will be staying there, who will be leaving. I don’t care. I do care that our partners don’t think anything unnecessary about us. I don’t want coincidences, and that’s why I won’t go to Saudi Arabia (tomorrow — ed.)," the president added.
He clarified that regarding this matter, Ukraine has already contacted its partners in Saudi Arabia. It was decided to postpone the visit to March 10.
At the same time, the head of state noted that American officials are expected in Kyiv.
