9:59Now PlayingUkraine said it’s ready to accept a US proposal for a 30-day truce in Russia’s war, according to a joint statement following talks in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
The US will now take the proposal to Russia to seek its agreement, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told reporters in Jeddah after eight hours of talks.
President Donald Trump also agreed to lift the US freeze on military aid and intelligence for Kyiv. In addition, the US and Ukraine discussed the need to conduct prisoner swaps with Russia during the truce, according to the statement.
“They made concrete steps and concrete proposals, not only accepting our proposal for a full ceasefire,” Waltz said.
“We also got into substantive details on how this war is going to permanently end, what type of guarantees they’re going to have for their long-term security and prosperity, but also really looking at what it’s going to take to finally end the horrific fighting.”
Ahead of the meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio made clear the goal was to learn what concessions Ukraine would be willing to make to secure a possible peace deal with Russia. Afterward, Rubio told reporters that “we made an offer” and Ukraine accepted it.
Watch US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz speak to reporters following the news in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
