Support for Ukraine was reinstated following Kiev's acceptance of Washington's proposal for an "immediate" 30-day ceasefire with Russia.
On Tuesday, the US announced that it had restored military and intelligence support for Ukraine after discussions in Saudi Arabia. Alongside the ceasefire agreement, Kiev committed to finalizing a comprehensive agreement regarding its critical resources with Washington "as soon as possible."
“Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the US proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by the Russian Federation,” stated a joint announcement. Washington will inform Russia of the proposal soon.
As a result, the US will “immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine.” Both countries have also begun talks on “humanitarian relief efforts,” which include potential prisoner of war exchanges, “release of civilian detainees,” and additional initiatives.
During the discussions, the delegations addressed long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, as noted by US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who did not elaborate further. Kiev has committed to engage on a critical resources agreement with the US and aims to sign it “as soon as possible.”
So far, Moscow has yet to issue an official response regarding the outcomes of the US-Ukraine negotiations in Jeddah. The Russian government has previously indicated that any short-term ceasefire agreement would be unacceptable and would primarily serve the interests of Kiev and its Western allies.
“The goal should not be a short truce, not some kind of respite for regrouping forces and rearmament with the aim of subsequently continuing the conflict, but a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all nations living in this region,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin in January.
