Transcript
00:00Ukraine and Europe worry about being sidelined as Trump remains persistent to go ahead with
00:06direct talks with Russia to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine.
00:11In the coming days, a U.S. delegation led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio will engage
00:16in direct talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia.
00:20The move came as a shock to Europe who believe they should also be included in any peace
00:24talks as they also serve an important role.
00:28The move has prompted French President Emmanuel Macron to organize an emergency summit in
00:32Paris to discuss Europe's response.
00:36In a bid to ease tensions, Rubio said that Europe and Ukraine will be involved in, quote,
00:41real peace talks.
00:43He also noted that the Riyadh meeting is an opportunity to gauge the seriousness of Moscow
00:47on pursuing peace.
00:49U.S. President Donald Trump echoed a similar rhetoric on Sunday.
00:54We're moving along.
00:55We're trying to get a peace with Russia and Ukraine and we're working very hard on it.
00:59It's a war that should have never started.
01:03Do you expect Zelensky to be involved in these conversations?
01:06What will his role be?
01:07Yeah, I do.
01:08I do.
01:09He will be involved, yes.
01:12Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Abu Dhabi late on Sunday.
01:17It's not yet clear what's on the agenda for Zelensky.
01:21Kiev has not shared details on the President's trip nor confirmed rumors of possible Ukrainian
01:26participation in Riyadh.
