At the upcoming meeting with the U.S. in Jeddah, the Ukrainian side will attempt to convince Trump to restore intelligence and military support. This was reported by European Pravda, citing The Financial Times.
Participants involved in the preparations for the negotiations in Saudi Arabia stated that Kyiv intends to propose a partial ceasefire with russia—specifically, stopping long-range strikes and military actions in the Black Sea. Kyiv hopes that progress in negotiations will push Washington to reverse its decision to freeze intelligence sharing and arms supplies.
According to one Ukrainian official, in the short term, Kyiv will prioritize reestablishing ties with the U.S. Meanwhile, two European officials stated that Kyiv views progress in ceasefire negotiations as a "quid pro quo" for the restoration of military and intelligence assistance.
A U.S. State Department representative reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be in the Saudi city of Jeddah from Monday to Wednesday for negotiations aimed at "advancing the president’s goal of ending the russian-Ukrainian war".
