Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is in a Russian-made “disinformation space” following three of his top officials meeting a day earlier with Russian counterparts about ending the roughly three-year-old Russia-Ukraine war, after which Trump said Zelensky started. 

Zelensky also said that he wanted the Trump administration to be more truthful, according to The Associated Press.

 Zelensky spoke ahead of a meeting with U.S. special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Steve Witkoff, President Trump's Middle East envoy, represented the U.S. in the meeting with Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia.
