Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday for a visit with its powerful crown prince ahead of his team’s meeting with America’s top diplomat.

While Mr Zelenskyy himself will not be there, his team will try to repair the damage done when his February 28 visit to Washington descended into an Oval Office argument with US president Donald Trump and vice president JD Vance.
