President Zelensky vows country will not accept any deal made behind its back

MUNICH/WASHINGTON - US and Russian officials will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to start talks aimed at ending Moscow's nearly three-year war in Ukraine, a US lawmaker and a source familiar with the planning said on Feb 15.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who met US Vice-President J.D. Vance in Germany on Feb 14, said Ukraine was not invited to the talks in Saudi Arabia and that Kyiv would not engage with Russia before consulting strategic partners.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and White House Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Saudi Arabia, US Representative Michael McCaul told Reuters. It was not immediately clear who they would meet from Russia.

On the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Mr McCaul said the aim of the talks was to arrange a meeting between US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mr Zelensky "to finally bring peace and end this conflict".
