Zelensky commented on the U.S.-Russia meeting in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Axar.az reports that during interview with CNN Turk, Zelensky said, "The date of the meeting coincided with my visit there. I don't want this to seem like a game. This is not a game. We don't want to lose trust for Ukraine. Because there are too many coincidences. They didn't invite us."

Emphasizing his desire for a clean, transparent, and fair discussion, Zelensky said, "That’s the only thing I want. I don’t want to lose this transparency. I don’t want our partners to stop trusting us. Unfortunately, these games affect Ukrainians' mental and psychological state. Ukrainians feel like they are being deceived. I don’t want my people’s emotions to be manipulated."
