High-Stakes US-Ukraine Talks Begin in Saudi Arabia
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has arrived in Saudi Arabia ahead of critical peace talks with US officials aimed at mending strained relations and pushing for a ceasefire with Russia. During the discussions, Ukraine is expected to propose a limited aerial and naval ceasefire, seeking to persuade the US to resume financial aid amidst ongoing tensions. Senator Marco Rubio, who is also attending the talks, has indicated that the US wants to hear what concessions Ukraine is willing to make and is optimistic that the aid cutoff could be resolved. As negotiations unfold, both sides prepare for challenging discussions that could shape the future of US-Ukrainian relations and efforts to bring an end to the conflict.
