In a fresh push for peace, Zelensky has announced a meeting between Ukrainian and US officials scheduled for next Monday in Saudi Arabia, coinciding with US-Russia talks. He urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to cease what he labeled "unnecessary demands" that contribute to the ongoing conflict. One key point of contention remains Moscow's call for an end to military support for Ukraine, which Zelensky rejected firmly.

Zelensky Urges Russia to Withdraw Excessive Demands Ahead of Critical Peace Talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calls for a reduction of Russian demands ahead of upcoming peace discussions in Saudi Arabia, as tensions and military actions persist.
Amid mixed signals about agreements, Zelensky emphasized that any discussion regarding Ukraine's NATO membership should not be compromised, branding potential concessions as a "big gift to Russia." Furthermore, he firmly denied any discussions with the US regarding the nuclear power plants' ownership, reiterating that they are rightfully Ukrainian.
A list of critical infrastructure that Ukraine wants to safeguard will be presented at the upcoming talks, following an agreement in principle for a ceasefire that has yet to materialize. Both Zelensky and Putin are experiencing pressures regarding military conditions, with recent airstrikes continuing amid claims of a halt.
In parallel, Zelensky called for additional military aid from European allies during a recent address and stressed the necessity of EU involvement in the peace process. With UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer talking about ensuring security arrangements to sustain long-term peace, it seems all parties are racing against time amid ongoing hostilities and humanitarian concerns in Ukraine.
