The Ukrainian president's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said on Wednesday he was in Riyadh along with security council chief Rustem Umerov ahead of talks later in the week with U.S. administration officials in New York.
Yermak, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said the talks in Riyadh focused on paths to peace in Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia's participation in this process. Yermak said they met the Saudi defence minister and national security adviser.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, speaking later in his nightly video address, said the delegation would hold talks on Thursday in Switzerland. They would go on to New York on Friday for talks with U.S. administration officials.
U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said on Tuesday that he would meet representatives from Ukraine in New York this week while saying that Washington continues to talk with Russia.
