U.S, Russian delegations to meet again in Saudi Arabia

U.S. and Russian delegations will hold a new round of talks on a ceasefire in the Russo-Ukrainian war on Sunday, March 23, in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).

This was stated in an interview with Fox News by the U.S. President's Special Representative for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.

"I had two meetings with President Putin. The first one was for somewhere close to three and a half hours, and the second one was close to four hours. They were both compelling, I thought we accomplished quite a bit, and in the second meeting, we actually really narrowed the issues certainly from the Russian standpoint. We were immediately in discussions on tangible, granular ways to move forward towards a ceasefire that included the ceasefire with regard to energy infrastructure from both sides, something they've been trying to put together for quite some time. And secondly, the Black Sea maritime ceasefire. I think both of those are now agreed to by the Russians. I am certainly hopeful that the Ukrainians will agree to it. We have some details to work out, of course, but that will begin on Sunday in Jeddah. And beyond that, we'll move to a full ceasefire,” he said.

According to the special envoy, the American delegation set to fly to Saudi Arabia will include U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
