A top Ukrainian official said his country was "ready to go" and determined to reach a peace deal with Russia as U.S.-Ukraine talks kicked off in Jeddah.

Two senior Ukrainian officials say a Kyiv delegation that will meet with America’s top diplomat in Saudi Arabia will propose a ceasefire with Russia covering the Black Sea and long-range missile strikes.

Trump said U.S. representatives are "going to Russia right now as we speak” to help broker a 30-day ceasefire, a proposal that the Ukrainians agreed to during peace talks in Saudi Arabia this week.

Trump said his administration has discussed key details with Ukraine regarding a final peace deal to end its war against Russia.

Hours of talks in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday ended with a joint US-Ukraine statement backing an American-proposed 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia. Trump administration officials see this as a major breakthrough towards the foreign policy goals of a leader who campaigned on a promise to end the war.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said on Wednesday that a potential 30-day ceasefire with Russia could be used to draft a broader peace deal. He made this statement while hailing this week’s meeting in Saudi Arabia between US and Ukrainian officials as constructive.
