The US will now take a proposal to seek Russian President Vladimir Putin for his agreement. President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House, “Hopefully, President Putin will agree, and we can get the show on the road.”
In Jeddah, where the talks took place, American National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told reporters that the Ukrainian delegation “made concrete steps and concrete proposals, not only our proposal for a complete ceasefire. What to do to end the fight.
In addition, the US and Ukraine discussed the need to swap a prisoner with Russia during the Trus. And both nations agreed to conclude “as soon as possible” that Trump has demanded to share Ukraine in mineral development.
Prior to the meeting, US State Secretary Marco Rubio clarified that the goal was to learn what concessions would be prepared to secure a possible peace agreement with Ukraine Russia. Later, Rubio told reporters that “we made a proposal” and Ukraine accepted it.
At a video address for Ukrainians, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that “during those 30 days silence we can prepare all aspects of reliable peace and permanent security guarantee with our colleagues.”

Trump sent Rubio and Waltz to meet the Ukrainian delegation in Jeddah after the Oval Office Blow-Up on 28 February, which led to a significant military assistance to Ukraine. The US restored the assistance to Gelonski, which was demonstrating a commitment to a diplomatic solution to end the war with Russia.

The next developments may come within the days when the American Middle East envoy Steve Witchoff is due to meeting Putin in Moscow, Bloomberg News has reported. Amidst the encouragement, he can offer Putin to accept the ceasefire, a summit with Trump.
Moscow has rejected the presence of European soldiers in Ukraine who can act as peacekeepers in view of any agreement. It is emphasizing neutrality for the country and is giving its bid to Ukraine along with its army to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Western security officials warned that Putin is deliberately demanding a maximalist because he knows that he would be unacceptable for Ukraine and Europe and ready to continue the fight, Bloomberg said on Tuesday.
There was no immediate response to the US-Ukraine agreement with Russian authorities. But Fiodor Lukianov, the head of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy on a think tank advising Kremlin, said, “The way this word here is unlikely to satisfy anyone.”
“We have said many times that there will be no True until the conditions for permanent peace are agreed.” “No conditions are specified here, everything will have to be agreed later.”
