KYIV, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Ukraine will not participate in Saudi Arabia-based talks this week between the U.S. and Russia on ending the war in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday.
"Ukraine will not take part. Ukraine did not know anything about it," he told reporters during a video briefing from the United Arab Emirates, where he was on a state visit.
"Ukraine regards any negotiations on Ukraine without Ukraine as ones that have no result, and we cannot recognise ... any agreements about us without us."
Zelenskiy added that he would visit Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
