Trump is living in Russian 'disinformation space,' says Ukraine's Zelenskyy

These latest comments by President Trump that it was Ukraine who started the war will play directly into the most basic fears of the Ukrainians and the Europeans about how President Trump views this war, and it will increase their concerns that President Trump is playing directly into Putin's hands. Now they came just hours after these historic talks wrapped up here in Riyadh, 4.5 hours of conversations. US and the Russian sides at *** palace here in the Saudi capital. The American delegation saying that these talks were productive, that they managed to launch *** conversation after 3 years of these relations being frozen. They pushed back on accusations that they should not be speaking directly to the Russians in this moment, saying that if we want to get to *** peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, that you need. To speak with the Russians. Now, according to the American delegation, there were no concrete decisions that were made. There were no strong positions that were made, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that this is the beginning of this conversation and said that it could take quite some time. Take *** listen. We have to understand that it's been 3.5 years since there's been any sort of regularized contact between the United States and Russia. And in some cases between any of the participants in this conflict and Russia. So the goal of today's meeting was to follow up on the phone call the president had *** week ago and begin to establish those lines of communication. The work remains. Today is the first step of *** long and difficult journey. Secretary Rubio also outlined four broad points of agreement with the Russians. The first is that the embassies in both Moscow and Washington will try to get back to functioning at *** normal level. Both have been depleted after diplomats and spies from. Countries have been kicked out over the past 3 years. The second point that Rubio mentioned was specific to Ukraine that both Russia and the United States will name *** high-level delegation to deal with these negotiations about Ukraine. And then the third was more forward looking, kind of *** carrot, *** prize potentially for Russia if this war ends, and that is the promise or the potential for what he called historic economic and investment opportunities. We also heard. Pushback from the national security adviser Mike Waltz about how the Ukrainians and Europeans may not be involved. This is what he said. We are absolutely talking to both sides. The Secretary of State just met with President Zelinsky days ago along with the Vice President. 7 cabinet members in Europe at the same time really showing the importance of engaging our allies. I think the facts will continue to push back on this notion. That our allies haven't been consulted. The national security adviser also noting there that President Trump had just spoken with the French president. The British Prime Minister is due in Washington next week. We're also learning that President Zelinsky has now canceled *** trip to Saudi Arabia on the heels of this meeting. It was planned for before today, but he didn't want there to be *** mistake about Ukraine's involvement in these conversations, which he says. is not happening and that Ukraine was not invited to these talks. There is some confusion about whether Presidents Trump and Putin will meet anytime soon. President Trump said he expects that to happen before the end of the month, but what we heard from the Russian delegation earlier today was that that is unlikely, and the Americans have said that there is no date set right now for that meeting.
