Peace talks with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Politico reports, citing a Republican congressman and two U.S. officials familiar with the plan.

In addition to delegates from Kiev and Moscow, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the President's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff are also expected in the Saudi capital.

However, neither Donald Trump's special envoy for the Ukraine-Russia talks, Keith Kellogg, nor representatives of other major European powers will be present.

Just a few hours ago, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported a direct telephone conversation between Rubio and the head of Kremlin diplomacy Sergei Lavrov "at the initiative of Washington".

As for EU leaders, the possibility of an “informal” summit that could be held in Paris at the beginning of the week has emerged.
