8:31Now PlayingUkraine unconditionally supports the idea of a full ceasefire with Russia that goes beyond the one-month energy infrastructure truce currently under discussion, the nation’s envoy to the US said.
“We embrace it wholeheartedly,” Ambassador Oksana Markarova said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Monday. “We need Russia to agree to that,” she said, adding “it takes two to dance.” The Ukrainian diplomat spoke after US and Russian officials concluded 12 hours of talks in Saudi Arabia on Monday as part of President Donald Trump’s campaign for a ceasefire in the war.
A day earlier, US officials had met with their Ukrainian counterparts for talks that Ukraine’s defense minister called “productive and focused,” and “addressed key points including energy.”
The talks follow Trump’s separate telephone calls last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The countries have discussed a tentative agreement not to target energy infrastructure, but it’s unclear when that could take effect and whether it would help broader peace negotiations.
