U.S. and Ukrainian officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia to discuss potentially ending the war in Ukraine after a turbulent week in which President Trump threatened to abandon the country. The meeting comes after a dispute between the two leaders, with Trump pausing military aid to Ukraine. Both sides are now willing to sign a deal where the U.S. would share in revenue from Ukraine’s mineral resources.
Zelensky expressed regret over the previous Oval Office meeting and stated that Ukraine would send a delegation to meet with military representatives to negotiate ending the war. Russian officials have shown openness to talks, but a concrete agreement has not yet been reached.
There are doubts among European leaders about their ability to support Ukraine if the U.S. withdraws its assistance. The negotiations will take place in Saudi Arabia, with the goal of establishing a peace agreement and cease-fire. Zelensky’s positive comments regarding Trump’s leadership have helped in restoring relations between the two countries.
The Ukrainians are demanding commitments from Russia, including no attacks on civilian infrastructure and a truce for missiles and drones. Russia has not signaled its willingness to accept a truce, but talks are continuing. Trump believes that a deal is necessary for both Ukraine and Russia, and progress has been made in recent negotiations. France has also offered to contribute soldiers to Ukraine for safety reasons, while the U.S. remains optimistic about achieving a peace agreement.
