Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that US President Donald Trump is "living in a disinformation space" created by Russia. His statement highlights tensions between the two leaders. Trump recently claimed he was confident about a Ukraine peace deal after talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia. However, Ukraine was not invited. When asked about Ukrainians feeling "betrayed," Trump said Ukraine "could have made a deal" earlier. Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, stated that "nobody is excluding Ukraine" from the process. The war in Ukraine began three years ago when Russia launched a full-scale invasion after annexing Crimea in 2014.
