Ukrainian and U.S. officials have commenced a new round of discussions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, focusing on a proposed 30-day ceasefire in the Black Sea region and halting strikes on energy infrastructure. These talks follow earlier U.S.-Russia negotiations aimed at securing a partial ceasefire in Ukraine.
The U.S. delegation has engaged in separate meetings with both Ukrainian and Russian officials, seeking to mediate and advance peace efforts. Despite these diplomatic initiatives, skepticism persists regarding Russia’s commitment to compromise, especially in light of recent Russian missile attacks in Ukraine.
As negotiations continue, there is anticipation of a joint statement from the U.S. and Russia outlining the outcomes of their discussions. However, the effectiveness of these talks remains uncertain amid ongoing hostilities and complex geopolitical dynamics.
