NNA – quot;Novostiquot; news agency quoted media outlets as saying that Saudi Arabia and other countries proposed an alternative and different plan to the quot;Zelinsky planquot; to solve the crisis in Ukraine during the meeting held in Jeddah, where they confirmed that Russia was informed of it.
The German DPA agency said, quoting diplomatic circles at the Jeddah meeting, that quot;another possible peace plan was proposed in the talks in Saudi Arabia,quot; adding that it was submitted by Saudi Arabia and quot;a number of other countries,quot; and Russia was also informed of it.
The agency indicated that the terms of the alternative plan differ from the so-called quot;Zelinsky peace planquot;, as it is based on quot;the territorial integrity of Ukraine, a cease-fire on all fronts, the start of peace negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations and the exchange of prisoners.quot;
The Wall Street Journal quoted European officials as saying that Kiev no longer insisted on adopting the quot;Zelinsky planquot; at the Jeddah meeting.
Yesterday, Saturday, the meeting on the Ukrainian crisis began in Jeddah, to which representatives of about 30 countries were invited, while Russia was not invited. Several countries have confirmed their participation, including the United States, Britain, South Africa, Poland, and the European Union.
In turn, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said that his country would not participate in the negotiations without Russia.
The press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, indicated that the Kremlin will follow up on the meeting in Saudi Arabia regarding Ukraine, where he said: quot;It remains to be seen what goals are set.quot;
Commenting on the meeting, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that defining decisions on the Ukrainian crisis at the political level without Russia#39;s participation is quot;absurd and nonsensequot;, but there is quot;full room for creativityquot; to discuss them.
