Zelensky Abruptly Cancels Planned Saudi Visit After Being Sidelined From US-Russia Talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Tuesday he is cancelling his scheduled state visit to Saudi Arabia following the conclusion of US-Russia talks there.
He's been on a Middle East diplomatic tour to gain support for his country now three years in to the Russia-Ukraine war, which took him to the UAE, Turkey, and Wednesday he was supposed to be in Saudi Arabia to meet with the kingdom's leadership. The Saudi trip had been planned before it was known that the US-Russia talks would take place.
"Zelensky CANCELLING trip to Saudi Arabia following US/Russia talks. Zelensky will now return to Kyiv from Ankara, Turkey," Fox News has reported. He now says he plans to visit in March. Zelensky is clearly trying to lash out at Washington.
