Ukrainian and American officials will hold a meeting next week, likely on Wednesday, March 12, according to Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich and Axios correspondent Barak Ravid.
"Rubio (US Secretary of State - ed.), Witkoff (Special Envoy to the Middle East - ed.), Waltz (National Security Advisor - ed,) headed to Riyadh on Tuesday to meet with Ukrainians, including Yermak (Head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine - ed.)," a Fox News correspondent wrote.
Ravid, citing multiple sources, confirmed that the meeting will take place on Wednesday, March 12.
Announcement of the meeting
Relations between the two countries deteriorated after a dispute between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump at the White House.
However, on March 5, Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, held talks with US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. They agreed on a meeting between Ukrainian and US negotiating teams in the near future.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized on March 6 that the US and Ukraine have resumed cooperation. He expressed hope for a productive meeting next week.
It’s worth noting that Zelenskyy’s visit to Saudi Arabia is scheduled for March 10. The visit was originally planned for February 19 but was postponed due to talks between Russian and American officials in Riyadh.
