Volodymyr Zelensky and his chief of staff Andriy Ermak do not plan to attend the upcoming consultations between the US and Russia to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. This was reported by the Washington Post, citing its sources.
„Neither Zelensky nor his senior aide Andriy Ermak plan to attend the meeting in Saudi Arabia, a source familiar with the situation said“, the newspaper writes.“
„The approach of the Trump administration to end the conflict has led to an increase in tension in relations between the US and Ukraine“, the publication emphasizes. As the Washington Post notes, the United States has supplied Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons since the crisis began, but after taking office, President Donald Trump said that Washington could no longer afford "indefinite military commitments" to Kiev.
