Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as “good,” highlighting the prince’s supportive outlook on both regional and international issues.
In a message on Telegram, Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the crown prince’s “wise perspective on the international situation and his support for Ukraine.
Hearing his confidence in Ukraine’s future was very important.” He noted that the discussion covered “all key issues on the agenda, both bilaterally and with other partners,” and praised the crown prince for his role in “bringing real peace closer.”
Zelenskyy emphasized Saudi Arabia’s crucial role in global diplomacy, stating, “Saudi Arabia provides a crucial platform for diplomacy, and we appreciate it.” He added that the Ukrainian delegation remains in Jeddah to work with their American counterparts, expressing hope for “practical results” in addressing the ongoing Moscow-Kyiv conflict.
“Our position in these talks will be absolutely constructive,” he said.
A significant portion of the conversation focused on finding concrete steps to end the Russia-Ukraine war and secure lasting peace. “We discussed in detail with Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud the steps and conditions needed to end the war, including key measures like prisoner releases and the return of children—actions that could serve as important confidence-building steps,” Zelenskyy said.
He also highlighted discussions about expanding economic cooperation, with Saudi Arabia showing a willingness to invest in Ukraine’s reconstruction across sectors such as security, energy, and infrastructure.
The meeting in Jeddah is part of broader diplomatic efforts, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz scheduled to meet with senior Ukrainian officials led by Andriy Yermak later on Tuesday. The high-level discussions underscore the international community’s ongoing commitment to finding a resolution to the conflict.
