In Saudi Arabia, an agreement for a ceasefire between Ukraine and America was established. Subsequently, this 30-day ceasefire plan was forwarded to Russia. Observing Putin's lax attitude toward this, President Donald Trump delivered a stern warning.
During a White House press encounter, Trump expressed optimism that Russia would agree to the ceasefire. He confirmed that our representatives are now traveling to Russia, and a 30-day ceasefire agreement with Ukraine has been dispatched to Putin.
Trump warned Putin that if Russia continues its aggression against Ukraine, there would be harsh repercussions. It could face severe economic fallout. We might take steps that negatively impact their finances, which would be detrimental to Russia. My aim is to bring peace, so I hope it doesn't come to this.
In response, Russia stated that they are currently considering the proposal. When Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was inquired about the ceasefire proposal, he mentioned that discussions would occur with the US first. It entails ceasing hostilities on land, air, and sea.
Earlier, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, an agreement for a 30-day ceasefire was reached between representatives from America and Ukraine. Following the agreement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio mentioned that this proposal would be presented to Russia. Russia's agreement is essential for its implementation.
Notably, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This meeting took place ahead of the Tuesday talks about the peace agreement between Ukrainian officials and Saudi-American representatives.
After his meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Zelensky stated that the meeting was constructive. He appreciated the unwavering and composed stance in global affairs and support for Ukraine. We discussed numerous topics, from bilateral relations to enhancing mutual cooperation. I am confident that the Crown Prince's efforts will lead to genuine peace. Saudi Arabia is a crucial diplomatic platform, and we value its contributions.
