Ukraine to Propose Partial Ceasefire Deal to U.S. Amid Renewed Conflict
Ukraine plans to present the United States with a partial ceasefire proposal on Tuesday, aiming to regain U.S. support as President Donald Trump pushes for concessions to end the ongoing war. The talks, held in Saudi Arabia, come as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine, while Kyiv retaliates, including a drone strike on Moscow.
The meeting follows a tense White House visit where Trump criticized President Volodymyr Zelensky for perceived ingratitude, leading to a suspension of U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing. In response, Zelensky has signaled willingness to negotiate, proposing a ceasefire in the air and at sea as a starting point.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, attending the talks with Trump’s national security advisor, acknowledged the possibility of restoring aid, stating that concessions are necessary for any peace deal. Meanwhile, Russia continues to reclaim lost territories, while Ukraine demands security guarantees, prisoner releases, and the return of children allegedly abducted by Moscow.
Trump’s abrupt shift in U.S. policy has drawn criticism from European allies, with concerns that the changes may benefit Russia. The negotiations in Saudi Arabia are expected to shape the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and broader geopolitical stability.
