Ukraine will not be present at the proposed peace talks in Saudi Arabia that involve the United States and Russia, according to a Ukrainian government source who spoke to the BBC. This development underscores the ongoing complexities in the diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the conflict involving Ukraine. The absence of a direct representative from Kyiv at these talks raises questions about the potential effectiveness and inclusivity of any prospective peace negotiations.
