00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he's cancelled his scheduled trip to Saudi
00:06Arabia to avoid what he called coincidences following a meeting between U.S. and Russian
00:11officials in Riyadh.
00:13The meeting, to which Key was not invited, focused on negotiating an end to Moscow's
00:19war in Ukraine.
00:21We are absolutely honest and open. I don't want coincidences. That's why I won't go to
00:27Saudi Arabia. We have just reached an agreement that I will be there on March 10 with an official
00:34visit. And we are waiting for the United States in Kyiv.
00:40Zelensky's announcement came as he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for
00:45talks in Ankara, during which he said any Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations shouldn't
00:50take place behind the backs of the parties involved.
00:55Meanwhile, President Erdogan stated that the United States' approach aligns with Turkish
01:00policy.
01:15He also suggested that Turkey would be an ideal host for upcoming peace talks between
01:26Russia, the U.S. and Ukraine, due to his country's efforts to mediate between the warring sides
01:32in the past.
