Negotiations are slated for Tuesday or Wednesday after Kiev's acceptance of a 30-day ceasefire proposal.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that an American delegation will engage with their Russian counterparts “today or tomorrow,” as reported by Reuters on Tuesday.
This announcement follows the completion of discussions between American and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia, where Kiev agreed to a 30-day ceasefire, and Washington pledged to resume intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
“That’s a total ceasefire,” Trump told reporters outside the White House on Tuesday after the talks. “Ukraine has agreed to it. And hopefully Russia will agree to it.”
Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is expected to travel to Moscow soon to address the Ukraine conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, neither U.S. nor Russian officials have confirmed the trip or its timing.
“We’re going to meet with them [the Russians] later on today and tomorrow and hopefully we’ll be able to [work] out a deal,” Trump continued. “I think the ceasefire is very important. If we can get Russia to do it, that’ll be great. If we can’t we just keep going on and people are gonna get killed, lots of people.”
Russia has yet to publicly respond to the recent statements following the U.S.-Ukraine discussions in Jeddah. Moscow has previously indicated skepticism about any temporary ceasefire agreement, claiming it would simply enable Kiev to regroup and rearm. Putin stated in January that Russia seeks a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people in the region.
