A meeting between senior representatives from the United States and Ukraine regarding a limited ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has concluded.
On the 23rd (local time), Ukraine's Minister of Defense Rustem Umierov stated on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after concluding discussions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that "the discussions were held in a productive and focused atmosphere, addressing key issues including energy."
Earlier, Minister Umierov noted on social media that "I just started talks with the U.S. delegation in Riyadh," adding that "the agenda includes proposals for protecting energy and critical infrastructure (the limited ceasefire proposal) and that various complex technical issues are currently being addressed."
Originally, the United States was reported to hold practical talks with Russia and Ukraine separately on the same day in a 'shuttle diplomacy' format; however, the U.S. and Ukraine held their high-level delegation talks a day earlier. Russia and the U.S. are scheduled to meet in Riyadh on the 24th.
