Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended a summit of the Arab League in Saudi Arabia on Friday to canvas support for his people, while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed his readiness to mediate in the war between Moscow and Kyiv.
Zelenskyy, who is also due to attend a summit of the G7 leaders in the Japanese city of Hiroshima this weekend, thanked Saudi Arabia for its past help and said delegates would each receive the text of his 10-point peace plan.
In his address to the summit, Zelenskyy said some countries, including members of the Arab League, preferred to "turn a blind eye" to Russia's “cages and illegal annexation” of Ukrainian land and to its jailing of some Ukrainians during the 15-month war. Gulf states have tried to remain neutral in the Ukraine conflict despite Western pressure on Gulf oil producers to help isolate Russia, a fellow OPEC+ member, according to Reuters.
"I am sure we can all be united in saving people from the cages of Russian prisons," Zelenskyy said, speaking in English.
