Vladimir Putin has said "no one is excluding Ukraine" from talks, adding there was no need for a "hysterical" reaction to yesterday's talks between US and Russian officials.
Putin said: "We are not imposing anything on anyone. We are ready, I have already said this a hundred times - if they want, please let these negotiations take place and we will be ready to return to the table."
His comments follow a meeting between US and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia yesterday on ending the war in Ukraine, with Ukraine and European governments not invited to the talks.
The Russian president also said he had been told by Donald Trump that Ukraine will take part in future talks.

Zelensky is their hero, he should be the leader of the free world.
z is excluded.
He’s a BIG FAT JOKE :)
A joke that NATO and NEOCONS and other assorted monsters and idiots, including dems, go to keep warring against Russia...to the tune of 100s in billions (mostly missing) from the US and a few bucks from other countries.
ANYONE who didn’t see this is a military/industiral complex, NEOCON/NATO, dem pull for power and a fortune is BLIND.
Zelensky is like the fired government workers, he thought his job was guaranteed for life.
“there was no need for a “hysterical” reaction”
Too much coke!
The uke’s passed a law making it illegal to talk to the russkies. Hard to negotiate when you’re forbidden to talk to the enemy. Stupid law. Every war ends in negotiation. Even ww2, we had to negotiate with japs to keep their emperor. If this war dragged on for years more, it still would require negotiations for it to end. Maybe zelenski should agree to sit down with the russians and stop the killing. Just think, over a million dead and there are those who want the war to continue.
And even if by some miracle, the Ukrainians drive the Russians out. What then? They aren’t going to march all the way to Moscow. Who is to say that 5-10 years down the road the Russians won’t try again, and be stronger the next time?
The stupid chimp Zelensky is too self centered to understand that the talks going on in Saudi right now are the US/Russia establishment of dialogue. No one has talked to each other in the last admin.
Ukraine was probably only a part of the discussions.
I can think of no reason for Zelensky to be privy to any talk other than Ukraine that is between the US and Russia.
A different meeting will be planned at a later date and this arsehole can’t seem to understand that we no longer revolve around him.
Unfortunately for the world, the peoples of Russia, Belarus, and the Ukraine will always require “strongman” rule. It’s how they roll.
Well Lukashenko, the Belarus strongman, is the only reason that Russia hasn’t absorbed Belarus yet.
smart man. Putin was willing to curtsy to the US and Trump and negotiate,. Now, Mabey we can really checkmate red China.
