As negotiations to end the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war begin in earnest, President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy are still trying to get on the same page.
Zelenskyy postponed a visit to Saudi Arabia on Feb. 19, in order to draw a greater distinction between his travel and talks between U.S. and Russian delegates in Riyadh the day before. Though Kyiv has insisted on no negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine, none of their representatives were present for the Feb. 18 Riyadh meeting.
