U.S. and Russia Begin Ceasefire Talks in Saudi Arabia as Attacks Persist

Negotiations focus on halting strikes on energy infrastructure and ensuring Black Sea maritime safety while disagreements and continued hostilities complicate progress.

• U.S. and Russian officials are meeting in Riyadh to negotiate a partial ceasefire in Ukraine, following separate discussions between the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations.
• The proposed ceasefire includes a 30-day pause on attacks targeting energy infrastructure, but discrepancies remain over its scope and implementation.
• Talks also aim to establish a Black Sea maritime ceasefire to facilitate safe shipping and potentially resume the 2022 grain export deal, previously suspended by Russia.
• Despite agreements in principle, both Ukraine and Russia continue cross-border attacks, with recent Russian drone strikes killing civilians in Kyiv and Ukrainian drones targeting Russia.
• European allies express concern over the U.S.'s bilateral approach, fearing it may undermine multilateral frameworks and embolden Russia in future conflicts.
