The US observes significant progress in the resolution of the war between Russia and Ukraine. This progress was achieved during negotiations in Saudi Arabia, US President Donald Trump made this statement during a meeting with American ambassadors.
The president was asked to comment on the progress regarding the ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea.
"We've made a lot of progress on two fronts, on both sections. We call them sections, but they're much more than that. Russia, Ukraine, and also the Middle East," he noted.
According to the American leader, the US continues "deep discussions" with both Ukraine and Russia.
"And I would say it's going well, but it's a situation we should have never had to even think about," he clarified.
US negotiations with Ukraine and Russia
The US held separate technical negotiations with Ukraine and Russia in Riyadh. The parties primarily discussed the possibility of a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
Following the negotiations, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea and an "energy ceasefire" with Russia.
Russia, on the other hand, only agreed to the concept of an "energy ceasefire." In the case of a ceasefire at sea, the aggressor country demands that the West first lift some of the sanctions imposed on it.
