Before his team’s meeting with U.S. top diplomat Marco Rubio, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited to Saudi Arabia with the country’s crown prince, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The conference will be place in Jeddah on Tuesday. President Trump’s quest for peace negotiations may pick up speed if Ukraine and the US can come to a mutually agreeable accord. Rubio and Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, will evaluate Ukraine’s reactions and engage in peace negotiations. The discussions will be attended by Zelensky’s team, which includes Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, and Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak. Despite the European Union’s agreement to strengthen defenses and release billions of euros for security, Europe is still dubious.
