US Initiates Indirect Negotiations Between Ukraine and Russia in Saudi Arabia
The US is organizing indirect talks between Ukraine and Russia in Saudi Arabia to ascertain conditions for ending the conflict. Keith Kellogg noted that technical teams will engage in separate discussions to propose terms for a ceasefire. The possibility of a meeting between Trump and Putin is not ruled out, although specifics are pending.
The United States, under the Trump administration, is organizing indirect negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Saudi Arabia to explore conditions for ending the ongoing conflict. US Special Representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, disclosed this initiative during an interview with American journalist Glenn Beck, as reported by UNN.
The negotiations are set to involve technical teams from both Ukraine and Russia, who will participate in separate rooms during discussions. In these talks, each side will present its terms for a potential ceasefire. Kellogg outlined the procedure: “Okay, what are your terms?” followed by prompting the other side similarly to assess possible compromises toward a comprehensive ceasefire.
Additionally, the prospect of a face-to-face meeting between US President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia has not been dismissed; however, specific details regarding such a summit have not yet been established. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a delegation meeting with the United States scheduled for Monday, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s role in these diplomatic efforts.
It should also be noted that the European Union is considering appointing a representative dedicated to peace talks concerning the conflict, although no definitive decision has been reached as of March 25, 2020.
In summary, the US is facilitating indirect negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Saudi Arabia to clarify ceasefire terms. With separate discussions involving technical teams from both nations, there is potential for compromise. While a direct summit between Trump and Putin remains a possibility, concrete plans have yet to materialize. The ongoing diplomatic efforts emphasize the importance of dialogue in resolving the conflict.
