Negotiations will reportedly take place on Tuesday or Wednesday after Kiev agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposal
US President Donald Trump has announced that an American delegation will meet with their Russian counterparts "today or tomorrow" (March 11-12), Reuters reported on Tuesday.
The statement follows the conclusion of negotiations between the American and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia, during which Kiev agreed to a 30-day ceasefire and Washington committed to resuming intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
"That's a total ceasefire," Trump told reporters outside the White House on Tuesday after the talks. "Ukraine has agreed to it. And hopefully Russia will agree to it."
Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is expected to travel to Moscow in the coming days to discuss the Ukraine conflict with Russian President Vladirmir Putin. But neither US nor Russian officials have publicly confirmed the trip or its exact date so far.
"We're going to meet with them [the Russians] later on today and tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to [work] out a deal," Trump continued. "I think the ceasefire is very important. If we can get Russia to do it, that'll be great. If we can't we just keep going on and people are gonna get killed, lots of people."
