Rubio leading US delegation to Saudi Arabia for talks with Russia on Ukraine, according to AP source

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading a delegation to Saudi Arabia for direct talks with Russian officials in the coming days to seek an end to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, a U.S. official said Sunday. The trip follows last week’s telephone call between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in which Trump said they “agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately.” The call upended years of U.S. policy, ending the isolation of Moscow over the Feb. 24, 2022, invasion. Speaking to Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” program, Witkoff said he and Waltz will be “having meetings at the direction of the president,” and hope to make “some really good progress with regard to Russia-Ukraine.” Ukrainian Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, a first deputy prime minister, didn’t clarify whether there is a link between Zelenskyy’s possible trip and previously announced U.S.-Russia talks. In a Telegram post, Yermak said the Ukrainians weren’t planning to do so “until we develop a plan” to end the war and bring about a “just peace.” Mykhailo Podolyak, another Zelenskyy adviser, on Saturday denied that Ukraine will participate in any planned U.S.-Russia meetings in Saudi Arabia.
