U.S. to Resume Military Aid to Ukraine

The United States has agreed to restart military aid and share intelligence with Ukraine. This decision comes after discussions held in Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine expressed readiness for a 30-day ceasefire in its ongoing conflict with Russia.

Key Points:

• The U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, will present the ceasefire proposal to Russia.
• Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, describes the ceasefire as a “positive proposal” covering the entire frontline.
• Washington and Kyiv aim to finalize a comprehensive agreement for developing Ukraine's mineral resources.
• Discussions regarding security guarantees for Ukraine were also held.

Details of the Talks

Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, "The President wanted this war to end yesterday." He expressed hope for a swift positive response from Russia to initiate new negotiations.

President Zelenskiy, who attended the Saudi talks without direct participation, highlighted the importance of the ceasefire proposal, which includes all conflict zones, including land, air, and sea.

Future Collaborations

Efforts to finalize the minerals agreement, which has faced delays, will continue as both countries work together to strengthen ties and ensure Ukraine's development in critical resource sectors.

A senior aide to Zelenskiy noted that security guarantees were discussed, although specifics were not disclosed.
