The US resumed military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine
While Ukraine has agreed to Russia with a temporary four -day temporary ceasefire, the United States has resumed military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine.
Ukraine and the United States announced the issue on Tuesday after negotiations in Saudi Arabia, according to ISNA. Kiev has also agreed to sign Washington as soon as possible with a comprehensive agreement on vital resources in Ukraine.
According to a joint statement, Ukraine has announced its readiness to accept the US proposal to implement an immediate four -day temporary ceasefire, which could be extended by the parties’ agreement and its implementation is subject to simultaneous admission and implementation by the Russian Federation.
Washington has announced that it will soon be offered to Russia.
The US will also immediately cancel the suspension of intelligence cooperation and resume security for Ukraine. Subsequently, Kiev officials said Tuesday that the intelligence and security cooperation resumed. Washington and Kiev have also discussed humanitarian efforts, including possible exchange of captives, the release of civilian detainees and other measures.
At the meeting, the delegates discussed long -term security guarantees for Ukraine, but Mike Waltz, the US National Security Adviser, did not provide further details. Kiev has agreed to work on an agreement on vital resources with the United States and has pledged to sign it as soon as possible.
Peace talks; Will Russia agree?
So far, Moscow has not responded to the statements made after the US -Ukraine talks in Jeddah. The Russian leadership had earlier stated that any temporary ceasefire agreement is unacceptable and would only benefit Kiev and its Western supporters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in January: “The goal should not be a short -term ceasefire or an opportunity to renew and re -arrest the conflict, but rather to respect the legitimate interests of all people and nations in the region.”
After more than eight hours of talks with Ukrainian officials in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States will now offer the proposal to Russia and decide with Moscow.
Speaking to reporters, Rubio said, “We hope that the Russians will respond positively as soon as possible so that we can reach the second stage, which is real negotiations.”
Rubio announced that Washington wants a complete agreement with Russia and Ukraine as “as soon as possible.” “Every day, this war continues, people are killed, bombed, and both sides of the conflict are damaged,” he said.
Ukraine must accept field reality
The US Secretary of State has also denied the territorial assignment, saying that Ukraine should completely exit the four Ukrainian areas where Russia claims to be partially owned and controlled.
A prominent Russian legislator said on Wednesday, “Any agreement – with a thorough understanding of the need for reconciliation – must be based on our circumstances, not US conditions.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that it would not reject contact with US representatives.
Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnski, who was in Saudi Arabia but did not participate in the negotiations, said the ceasefire is a “positive proposal” that covers not only the air and offshore conflicts but the entire front line.
The Ukrainian leader said the ceasefire would be implemented shortly after Russia’s agreement.
“When the agreement is implemented, we will have the opportunity to prepare all the dimensions of lasting peace and long -term security at the level of executive documents with our partners,” Zelnsky said.
Rubio announced that the project will be sent to Russia through various channels.
Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is set to meet with his Russian counterpart in the coming days, and Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witekaf, will travel to Moscow this week to meet Putin.
Trump said on Tuesday that he hoped the ceasefire will be established quickly and predicted that he would talk to Putin this week. “I hope this will be resolved in the next few days,” he told reporters in a White House event to promote Tesla Automotive Company belonging to his close consultant, Ilan Musk.
Redirection of negotiations; From tension to agreement?
The US -Ukraine agreement is a significant change to the high -profile visit to the White House between the new Republican President, which has always been pessimistic about helping Ukraine, and is Zelnski.
In a joint statement Tuesday, the two countries announced that they have agreed to finalize a comprehensive agreement on the development of vital mineral resources of Ukraine as soon as possible; The agreement that had been drafted earlier but then sat down, remained uncertain.
Subsequently, the United States stopped sending security information and weapons shipments to Ukraine, which showed that Trump was willing to put pressure on US allies to change his approach to Moscow.
Trump announced on Tuesday that he will invite Zelkski again to the White House.
Ukrainian officials announced Tuesday night that military aid and information sharing had been resumed.
Europe’s role in the peace talks
A senior Zeansky aides said that security guarantees for Ukraine had been discussed with US officials.
Security guarantees have been one of Kiev’s key goals, and some European countries have expressed a tendency to send their troops to Ukraine as part of these guarantees. In a joint statement, Ukraine reiterated that European partners should participate in the peace process.
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary -General Mark Route will be in the White House on Thursday.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibia, who was present in the Jeddah talks, said he had then talked to several European foreign ministers about the “results of this important meeting”.
Diplomacy and battle; Ukraine, the US and Europe on the path of peace?
On Wednesday, the potatoes travel to Poland, the neighbor of Ukraine, and a NATO member, who has been a staunch supporter of Kiev since the beginning of the war.
“It seems that Americans and Ukrainians have taken an important step towards peace,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Task wrote on the X -Social Network. “And Europe is ready to help achieve a fair and sustainable peace.”
Waltz said the initial resistance to military aid to Ukraine will include equipment from US weapons warehouses approved by the former president, Joe Biden, but Trump stopped it.
Increasing military pressure on the battlefield
As the diplomacy progresses, Ukraine’s positions on the battlefield have been under pressure, especially in the Russian Corsk area, where Moscow forces have launched attacks to expel Kiev forces; The forces that tried to maintain part of the territory of the area as a winning leaf in the negotiations.
Ukraine also carried out its largest drone attack against Moscow and its surrounding areas, indicating that Kiev could also hit heavy blows after a wave of Russian missile and drone attacks, one of which was killed on Saturday.
