Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked Donald Trump for “the constructiveness of our teams’ conversation” today in Jeddah.
In a video online, Zelensky reiterates that the Ukrainian position is to accept today’s US proposal of a ceasefire in the sky, sea, and on the front line.
He says they “consider it positive” and now “it is up to the United States” to convince Russia to agree.
An important part of the conversation today was the American agreement to resume intelligence sharing with Ukraine, Zelensky says.
“Ukraine is ready for peace.”
He adds: “Russia must show its willingness to stop the war or continue the war. It is time for the full truth. I thank everyone who is helping Ukraine.”
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s top aide, Andriy Yermak – who was part of the Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia – has shared a short update.
Posting on X, he says protecting Kyiv’s interest is the “most important thing”, while a “just peace” is “key”.
He thanks the US and Saudi officials for a “constructive meeting”.
