Ukraine is pushing for a 'partial ceasefire' during high-stakes talks in Saudi Arabia next week, where U.S. officials will meet separately with Ukrainian and Russian delegations 🇺🇦🇷🇺. A Ukrainian source told AFP they’re aiming to halt strikes on energy sites, civilian infrastructure, and Black Sea attacks: 'We still want to agree on a ceasefire, at least on what we have proposed.'
Global Pressure Mounts for Peace
With the U.S. reportedly urging both sides to compromise, momentum for a deal is building. Zhao Junjie, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, noted: 'Both sides have paid a heavy price. Seeking peace has become necessary.' He added that shifts in U.S. policy could force Russia and Ukraine to the table.
What’s on the Table? 🤝
While both nations claim they support a 30-day pause in attacking energy infrastructure—a move Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Tuesday—Kyiv accuses Moscow of already violating the pause. Monday’s talks in Saudi Arabia will test whether even a temporary ceasefire is achievable.
