It’s “dangerous” for the US and Russia to discuss the war in Ukraine without representatives from Kyiv, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on The Pulse. Top US and Russian officials are due to hold talks on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia, following last week’s phone call between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on finding ways to resolve the war. Meanwhile several European Union leaders said the decision to omit a majority of member states from a hastily arranged summit in Paris risks sending the wrong signal about the bloc’s unity. President Emmanuel Macron invited seven nations, including the UK, to discuss defense spending Monday after the sharp US policy shift under Donald Trump.
