Volodymyr Zelensky has pushed back his visit to Saudi Arabia, where he was due on Wednesday, after the United States and Russia held their first high-level talks since the Russian invasion of Ukraine there.

During a press conference in Turkey on Tuesday, Zelensky slammed the meeting -- to which he said he was not invited -- and said he had decided to postpone his official visit to the Middle Eastern country until 10 March.
