US and Ukrainian delegations began talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday to explore prospects for a potential peace deal with Russia, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency

According to Saudi broadcaster Al Arabiya, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha participated in the discussions, alongside Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan.

Ukraine is expected to propose a partial ceasefire plan to regain Washington’s support, the broadcaster reported. The talks aim to strengthen US-Ukraine relations following recent tensions, including a White House clash last month between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Trump stated that the US expects Ukraine to show a willingness to negotiate peace, expressing optimism about progress. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy reiterated on Monday that Ukraine has sought peace since the war began, blaming Russia for its continuation.

The conflict started on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a military offensive against Ukraine. Moscow demands Kyiv abandon its aspirations to join Western military alliances, a condition Ukraine rejects as interference in its sovereignty.
