RIYADH, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in Riyadh on Tuesday.
During their meeting, aspects
of Saudi-Ukrainian relations were reviewed, and the latest developments in the
Ukrainian-Russian war were discussed, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The crown prince stressed the
Kingdom’s support for all international endeavors and efforts aimed at
resolving the crisis and achieving peace, and continuing efforts to alleviate
the humanitarian repercussions of the war.
Zelensky wrote on social media
platform X that he would discuss prisoners of war and deportees with the crown
prince.
“The Kingdom’s leadership has
already contributed to the release of our people. I am confident that this
meeting will also yield results,” he wrote.
The crown prince was involved
in securing the release of 10 foreign prisoners captured in Ukraine in
September 2022 which then enabled a major prisoner swap between Russia and
Ukraine.
The president added that he
will discuss “promising areas of economic cooperation and Saudi Arabia’s
involvement in Ukraine’s reconstruction” during his visit.
Zelensky left Riyadh later on
Tuesday evening and was seen off by deputy govenor of Riyadh Prince
Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz.
