U.S. and Ukrainian officials convened in Saudi Arabia to strategize on safeguarding critical infrastructure, advancing President Donald Trump's initiative to conclude the three-year Ukraine-Russia conflict. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism, suggesting Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks peace. The discussions aim to establish a Black Sea ceasefire, potentially expanding to a broader truce. Despite a recent 30-day ceasefire agreement targeting energy infrastructure, ongoing strikes have undermined its effectiveness. The agenda includes confidence-building measures, peacekeeping operations, and defining a line of control. European nations remain cautious about a U.S.-Russia peace deal that could impact their security interests. (PC: RFI & AP News)
