A joint statement said Ukraine backed a US proposal for a 30-day general ceasefire with Russia. In turn, the United States agreed to lift restrictions on military aid and intelligence sharing.
The statement said that after talks in Saudi Arabia, the two sides agreed to conclude a deal on Ukrainian minerals “as soon as possible.”
“Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the US proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by the Russian Federation,” a joint statement said after the talks.
“The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace,” it added.
“The United States will immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine.”
President Donald Trump shut off aid on February 28 after a disastrous meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky.
