Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday (Feb 19) that US President Donald Trump told him that Ukraine would take part in future peace talks. Putin said that during the call, Trump said, “Of course, the United States proceeds from [the position] that the negotiating process will be happening with the participation of Russia and Ukraine.” To this, the Russian president added, “Nobody is excluding Ukraine from this process.”
‘Ready to get back in negotiations on Ukraine’
While reacting to the US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia, Putin said that he is ready to get back to negotiations on Ukraine, stressing that it is a priority for Russia.
He praised the talks held between the two countries in Riyadh on Tuesday, saying their purpose was to increase trust between the two countries and that the two sides acted without ‘bias or judgment’. Putin is speaking to reporters in St. Petersburg and admitted that he “has no close relations” with Trump. Russian President Putin says he would meet his US counterpart Donald Trump “with pleasure”.
He further said that Moscow “has never refused from having contacts with Europeans, never refused from negotiating with Ukraine”. Saudi Arabia on Tuesday (Feb 18) hosted breakthrough US-Russia talks to discuss ways to end the Ukraine war and strengthen American-Russian relations.
Zelensky criticized the talks held between the two nations. Talks “are taking place between representatives of Russia and representatives of the United States of America. About Ukraine — about Ukraine again — and without Ukraine,” he said.

For lasting peace, he said, “It is important not to make any mistakes.” “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine”,. Canada’s Trudeau says Kyiv should be part of US-Russia talks. “It’s a fundamental principle for Canada and for the vast majority of our allies… Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” Trudeau said ahead of a meeting on the conflict and European security hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Ukraine must be part of any talks about its future, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday, after US and Russian officials held high-level talks in Saudi Arabia that excluded Kyiv. “It’s a fundamental principle for Canada and for the vast majority of our allies… Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” Trudeau said ahead of a meeting on the conflict and European security hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron. Trudeau also pushed back against comments from President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday echoed many of Russia’s talking points on the three-year war in Ukraine, blaming Kyiv for having “started” the fighting.
“We had rules around borders, around not invading your neighbors that Russia chose deliberately to violate a number of years ago,” Trudeau said.
“And that puts at risk, not just Ukrainians’ ability to determine their own future, it puts at risk all of our democracies, all of the rules that keep us safe and prosperous.”
