Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had requested that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy participate in the discussions between Russia and the United States in Riyadh, but both the Americans and the Russians insisted that the talks take place without the Ukrainians.
Come on Trump! Alienate the Saudis! You can do it!
Russia, Trump, and MBS all at a conference together. Jesus Christ.
I also especially like that little comment about “coincidences” being part of why Zelensky didn’t want to attend. Like that weird coincidence that happened to Jamal Khashoggi, presumably.
