ai generated text
US and Russian officials will meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov are scheduled to travel to the Saudi capital, where they will meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.
They have a big powerful machine, you understand that. They defeated Hitler and they defeated Napoleon. They've been fighting a long time.
I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it's going well. But today I heard, 'Oh well, we weren't invited.' Well, you been there for three years. You should've ended it after three years. You should've never started it. You could've made a deal.
I'm very disappointed, I hear that they're upset about not having a seat.
I don't think in geopolitics, anyone should trust anyone.
An end to the Ukraine conflict must be acceptable to all involved, including Ukraine, Europe and Russia.
We are now at Trump time, which means I get an assignment today and tomorrow at noon he asks me why it hasn't been done yet.
What the president did not find acceptable was an endless war in Europe that was literally turning into — has turned into — a meat-grinder of people.
There is not any leader in the world who can really make a deal with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin without us about us.
As an independent country we simply cannot accept any agreements without us. And I articulate this very clearly to our partners. We will not accept any bilateral negotiations on Ukraine without us.
We, as a sovereign country, simply will not be able to accept any agreements without us.
We will never, under any circumstances, recognise our temporarily occupied territories as part of Russia.
We want no one to decide anything behind our backs … No decision can be made without Ukraine on how to end the war in Ukraine.
Encouragement rather than coercion, a voluntary and bizarre renunciation of strength in favour of disheartening and unmotivated appeasement of the aggressor.
Russia attacked Ukraine and we had no choice but to take up arms and defend ourselves. And there was no diplomacy because Russia attacked, attacked Ukraine at night and Ukrainians took up arms and started to defend their country.
They are expected to hold a meeting with their American counterparts on Tuesday, which will focus primarily on restoring the entire complex of Russian-American relations.
