Trump announces meeting in Saudi Arabia
On February 13, US President Donald Trump said that representatives of the United States, Ukraine, and Russia would allegedly meet in Saudi Arabia next week.
However, a source in the presidential team told RBC-Ukraine that Ukraine did not plan to hold talks in Saudi Arabia next week.
Trump also said that representatives of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia would meet at the Munich Security Conference. Ukrainian presidential communications advisor Dmytro Lytvyn denied this claim.
According to the chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, the Russians will not participate in the conference because they have not been accredited.
