Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirms a constructive meeting between Ukrainian and U.S. delegations in Saudi Arabia, discussing key steps toward peace. Ukraine outlined three priorities: halting missile and drone attacks, ensuring maritime security, and implementing confidence-building measures like prisoner exchanges and the return of forcibly taken Ukrainian children.
The U.S. proposed an even larger step— a 30-day full interim ceasefire across the entire front line. Ukraine has agreed, but the decision now rests with Russia. If accepted, the ceasefire would take effect immediately.
