Ukrainian and U.S. officials met in Jeddah to discuss a peace roadmap after Ukraine's largest drone attack on Moscow. Zelenskyy seeks to mend ties with the U.S., while Washington weighs Kyiv’s willingness to compromise. European allies urge caution in negotiations.
Ukrainian and U.S. officials convened in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday to explore a potential roadmap towards ending the war with Russia. The discussions come just hours after Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow to date, signaling its continued military resilience.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes the talks will repair strained relations with the U.S. after a contentious meeting with President Donald Trump last month. In a bid to align with Trump’s vision for a swift resolution, Zelenskyy has proposed an initial truce in the air and at sea.
The U.S., Ukraine’s primary ally since Russia’s 2022 invasion, has recently shifted its stance, halting military aid and pausing intelligence sharing. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the importance of understanding Kyiv’s willingness to make concessions.
Meanwhile, European allies remain cautious, insisting negotiations should only occur from a position of strength. Zelenskyy warns that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains uninterested in genuine peace and could threaten other European nations if Ukraine’s resistance falters.
The talks in Jeddah mark a pivotal moment in determining Ukraine’s future and the broader geopolitical landscape.
