Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is visiting Riyadh to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ahead of US-Ukrainian peace talks on March 11 in Jeddah. This meeting follows a recent argument with US officials at the White House. While Zelenskyy will not attend the talks, he emphasizes the need for constructive dialogue and realistic proposals to end the war with Russia. Kyiv seeks to propose a peace plan involving an air and sea truce, although pressure from Washington for a swift cease-fire persists despite Moscow's continued aggression in Ukraine.
"On our side, we are fully committed to constructive dialogue, and we hope to discuss and agree on the necessary decisions and steps," Zelenskyy said.
"Kyiv is likely to propose a peace plan outlined by Zelenskyy that includes an air and sea truce as the first step."
"Zelenskyy is under intense pressure from Washington to quickly agree a cease-fire with Russia, despite no pledge of a US security guarantee."
"But so far, Moscow has not showed interest in a cessation of hostilities."
