Productive Talks but Doomed Attempt, Ukraine Seeks Support in Saudi Arabia

Talks in Saudi Arabia between Ukraine and other countries aimed at finding a peaceful settlement to the war with Russia were described as productive by a senior Ukrainian official. However, Russia called the meeting a doomed attempt to gain support for Ukraine. The talks involved over 40 countries, including China, India, and the United States, and aimed to secure international support for Ukraine's principles for peace, including the withdrawal of Russian troops and the return of Ukrainian territory.
