La rencontre « sera principalement consacrée au rétablissement de l’ensemble des relations russo-américaines », a déclaré le porte-parole de la présidence russe Dmitri Peskov, au cours d’un briefing quotidien devant la presse auquel participait l’AFP.
High-level Russian and American officials are set to meet in Riyadh on February 18, 2025, to discuss restoring relations and potentially addressing the Ukraine conflict, including plans for negotiations and a possible meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump. This comes a week before the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and amid diplomatic tensions sparked by U.S. President Trump's recent call with Russian President Putin, which has raised concerns among European allies. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to attend the talks the next day, emphasizing the importance of Ukraine's inclusion in any discussions. European countries are also planning meetings to address their concerns about being excluded from these negotiations.
