Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he will meet the Saudi Crown Prince next Monday to discuss peace efforts regarding the war in Ukraine. His team will continue discussions with American partners during this visit, signaling Ukraine's commitment to achieving swift peace. The White House has acknowledged the upcoming meeting, although details remain tentative. Following a heated exchange with Trump over security assurances, this meeting may represent a cautious attempt at improving bilateral relations without direct involvement from either leader. Zelenskyy has already forwarded a draft peace proposal to Trump, suggesting a potential roadmap for negotiations.
Next Monday, I have a visit planned to Saudi Arabia for a meeting with the Crown Prince. After that, my team will stay in Saudi Arabia to work with our American partners.
But I think the larger discussion for us... is to get a peace deal done.
Zelenskyy later wrote a letter to Trump, where he even gave specifics on what the first stage of a peace process could look like.
The meeting due next week appears to be a careful step in re-testing relations between the two allies without the involvement of either Trump or Zelenskyy.
