Trump team heads to Saudi Arabia to begin Russia-Ukraine peace talks

Two senior US officials are traveling to Saudi Arabia to launch peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Two sources familiar with the matter announced that national security adviser Mike Waltz and special envoy Steve Witkoff are on their way to Saudi Arabia.

It is known that on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said that there had been an agreement to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, after telephone conversations with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, writes sky news, the Telegraph reports.


After his call with Putin, Trump posted on Truth Social saying: "We both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths that are happening in the Russia/Ukraine war."

A Kremlin spokesman said Putin and Trump had agreed to meet and the Russian president invited Trump to visit Moscow.

While the Ukrainian president wrote on X that he had a "meaningful conversation" by phone with Trump to discuss "possibilities for achieving peace."

He then reacted to the US president's call with Putin by saying that the main issue was "not to let everything go according to Putin's plan" - after the US president also said that it is unlikely that Ukraine will regain all of its occupied land.

Otherwise, Trump had told White House reporters that he saw no way "that a country in Russia's position" could allow Ukraine to join NATO. /Telegraph/
