US and Ukraine to Discuss Peace Framework in Saudi Arabia Next Week

Talks follow a breakdown in relations after a heated Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy led to the suspension of US military aid and intelligence sharing.

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia starting March 11 to discuss a potential ceasefire and peace agreement to end the three-year Russia-Ukraine war.
  • This marks the first high-level meeting between the two nations since a recent public clash between Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump at the White House.
  • The US suspended military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine following the Oval Office dispute, but Zelenskyy later sent a letter apologizing and expressing willingness to negotiate.
  • Key topics for discussion include a proposed six-month ceasefire, a peace framework, and an economic deal granting the US access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals, which are critical for industries like aerospace and electric vehicles.
  • Both Zelenskyy and Trump are expected to visit Saudi Arabia, though it remains unclear if they will meet directly during the talks.
