US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sees potential in Ukraine’s partial ceasefire proposal ahead of key talks in Saudi Arabia. Kyiv plans to propose an aerial and naval truce with Russia, though Moscow has rejected such moves before. Rubio, joined by US officials, said Ukraine must show commitment to diplomacy to resume paused US military aid. President Volodymyr Zelensky met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman but won’t formally participate. The negotiations come amid rising pressure from Donald Trump for Kyiv to accept a ceasefire. The US may also discuss a minerals deal with Ukraine during the talks.
