More than 40 countries, including China, India, the United States, and European countries, but not Russia, are taking part in the Jeddah talks that are expected to end on Sunday without any written concluding statement.
President Volodymir Zelenskiy has said he wants a global summit to take place based on those principles later this year.
Eighteen months after Russia invaded Ukraine, any prospect of direct peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow appears remote.
Yermak said different viewpoints emerged during the talks in Saudi Arabia, calling them "an extremely honest, open conversation".
