Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Saudi Arabia to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ahead of an important summit with US diplomats. This week, discussions will center on a bilateral minerals deal and potential strategies to end the ongoing war with Russia. Tensions have been high following a contentious prior meeting between Zelenskyy and US President Trump, leading to military aid suspension. Zelenskyy may propose a partial ceasefire to halt hostilities in the air and at sea, showcasing Ukraine's desire for peace despite ongoing challenges.
Zelenskyy wrote on social media ahead of his trip that Ukraine has sought peace since the start of the war and blames Russia for its continuation.
US Secretary of State Mark Rubio stated that it's crucial to establish Ukraine's intentions to facilitate possible peace with Russia.
Rubio emphasized the need to leave the meeting prepared to undertake difficult actions in the same manner as the Russians.
Discussions also indicate that Zelenskyy might propose a partial ceasefire, targeting an end to conflicts in the air and at sea.
