On Tuesday, Ukraine is set to present a plan for a partial ceasefire with Russia to the United States, aiming to regain the support of its vital ally amidst conditions imposed by President Donald Trump for ending the ongoing three-year conflict.
The discussions taking place in Saudi Arabia will mark the highest-level talks since a problematic meeting at the White House on February 28, during which Trump criticized Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for what he described as a lack of gratitude.
Zelenskyy, after penning a letter expressing remorse to Trump, arrived in the port city of Jeddah for discussions with Saudi leaders.
Prior to the U.S.-Ukraine talks, Zelenskyy met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to address Ukraine's stipulations for a permanent peace agreement. These stipulations include the release of prisoners and the return of children that Kyiv claims Moscow has deported, according to a statement from Zelenskyy’s office.
The statement outlined that the two leaders "discussed the possible mediation of Saudi Arabia in the release of military and civilian prisoners and the return of deported children."
Zelenskyy has announced that he will not participate in the Tuesday discussions with U.S. officials. Instead, the Ukrainian delegation will consist of his chief of staff, as well as the foreign and defense ministers, alongside a senior military figure from the presidential administration.
"On our side, we are fully committed to constructive dialogue, and we hope to discuss and agree on the necessary decisions and steps," Zelenskyy mentioned in a post on X, adding, "Realistic proposals are on the table. The key is to move quickly and effectively."
In the wake of Trump’s criticisms of Zelenskyy, Washington has halted military aid to Ukraine, along with intelligence sharing and access to satellite imagery in an effort to push the country toward negotiations.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, accompanied by Trump’s national security advisor Mike Waltz, expressed hope that the aid suspension would be resolved during the talks on Tuesday, clarifying that the United States had not cut off intelligence related to defensive operations.
Zelenskyy departed the White House without finalizing an agreement that Trump had demanded which would provide the U.S. access to significant portions of Ukraine's mineral resources as compensation for previous arms supplies. While Zelenskyy remains open to signing, Rubio indicated that this matter would not be the central focus of the discussions to take place on Tuesday.
