SAUDI ARABIA is set to host talks on Tuesday between the United States and Ukraine in a new diplomatic push to bring the war with Russia to an end.

The meeting follows an astonishing row between President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Donald Trump and US Vice-President JD Vance on  February 28 in the White House Oval Office.

Saudi Arabia, under its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been positioning itself as an ideal location for possible peace negotiations between Kiev and Moscow — and even the first face-to-face talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump.
