A senior US State Department official has said the Trump administration believes that the Ukrainian leadership is “ready to move forward” on US demands for a ceasefire with Russia.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz will arrive in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for talks with their Ukrainian counterparts.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly increased pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept his demands for an early ceasefire with Russia. But Trump has not made any immediate promise of US security guarantees to Ukraine.
Ten days ago, there was a heated debate between Trump and Zelensky in the US White House. Trump had claimed that Zelensky was not ready to end the fighting.
Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and currently about 20 percent of Ukraine is under Russian occupation.
