According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the United States and Ukraine have said in a joint statement that Ukraine has agreed to an immediate 30-day ceasefire under the US plan.
The statement said that Ukraine has accepted the US plan for a ceasefire and steps to restore lasting peace after the Russian intervention.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he will now make an offer to Russia and now the ball is in Russia’s court.
He said that President Trump wanted this war to end earlier, but we hope that Russia will answer yes as soon as possible so that we can enter the second phase of this, which is real negotiations.
According to the report, Ukrainian President Zelensky is also in Saudi Arabia but did not participate in the talks. However, he said that the ceasefire is a positive proposal.
Zelensky said that the ceasefire is a positive plan that is related to the conflict on the front and does not include air and naval warfare.
A close aide to Zelensky said that during the meeting, various aspects of security guarantees for Ukraine were also discussed with US officials, but did not provide details.
The joint statement said that during the meeting in Saudi Arabia, the two sides also agreed to complete a comprehensive agreement on minerals in Ukraine as soon as possible.
The Ukrainian President said in this regard that the US and Ukraine will also work to finalize the agreement on minerals.
It should be noted that earlier, there was a bitter exchange of words between Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Donald Trump at the White House regarding the ceasefire, and Zelensky left his visit to the US incomplete without completing the negotiations.
