Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says the Kremlin is carefully examining the talks between the United States and Ukraine and statements by their officials following their meeting on Tuesday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
"We are examining the statements made following the negotiations carefully, and we are getting acquainted with the text of the joint statement adopted in Jeddah," Peskov told at a briefing on Wednesday.
He said that his country is awaiting detailed information regarding the talks between senior officials from the U.S. and Ukraine which lasted for 9 hours and a half.
Shortly after Jeddah talks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kiev is prepared to accept a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire, which would pave the way for Washington resuming its military and intelligence support for Ukraine.
The proposal would “establish a complete ceasefire for 30 days, not only regarding missiles, drones and bombs, not only in the Black Sea, but also along the entire front line”, he said in a Telegram post.
Zelensky looked for Saudi Arabia’s help after his dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House, last month.
The Ukrainian delegation met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, the two Trump officials who attended direct talks with Russia last month.
The Jeddah talks resulted in a joint statement by American and Ukrainian officials, saying that Ukraine was open to the U.S. proposal “to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties”.
