0:58Now PlayingTop US and Ukrainian officials began talks in Saudi Arabia about the path to a possible peace deal with Moscow amid pressure from Washington on Kyiv to give ground.
“The meeting started very constructively,” the Ukrainian president’s top aide, Andriy Yermak, said Tuesday on the X platform. Walking into the talks in the Saudi city of Jeddah, he had told reporters that the Ukrainian side wants to achieve “a just and lasting peace in Ukraine” and “is ready to go for this goal.”
Ahead of the meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was seeking to hear what concessions Ukraine was willing to make to secure a deal with Russia.
“The most important thing that we have to leave here with is a strong sense that Ukraine is prepared to do difficult things, like the Russians are going to have to do difficult things to end this conflict,” Rubio said before arriving in Saudi Arabia. The discussions with the Ukrainians aim to “establish clearly their intentions.”
US President Donald Trump dispatched Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to meet Yermak and Ukraine’s defense and foreign ministers, Rustem Umerov and Andrii Sybiha, after his administration suspended military supplies and most intelligence assistance in a reversal of policy that shocked Kyiv and European allies.
