According to US President Donald Trump, the United States could soon renew the sharing of news information with Ukraine. When asked by a reporter, whether after a temporary stop, he was not considering recovering this information with Kiev, Trump on Sunday on board Air Force One replied: “We’re almost there. We are almost there. “However, he did not provide further detailsinforms TASR referring to Reuters and DPA.
Trump also said he expects good results from the upcoming talks between American and Ukrainian officials that will take place this week in Saudi Arabia. “I think this week can happen very big things. I hope yes“he said with reference to Tuesday’s meeting of delegations of both countries in Jidda.
The US delegation will include Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and a special Plenipotentiary for the Middle East Steve Witkoff. The delegation of Ukraine will be led by the head of the presidential office Andri Jermak.
Trump has increased pressure on Kiev in recent days to start peace negotiations with Russia. The Central Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe announced last week on Wednesday that the US has suspended the sharing of news information with Ukraine. This was preceded by a rupture between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House, after which Trump temporarily stopped US military assistance to Ukraine.
The fate of the Mineral Resources Agreement between Washington and Kiev, which the presidents had originally signed on and which would allow the US to access some resources in Ukraine, also depends on the conversations in Jidda. Trump said on Sunday that he thinks Ukraine will sign the agreement. “They sign an agreement on minerals, but I want them to want peace … They didn’t show it to the extent they should, “ stated.
Reuters, referring to two unnamed US officials, reported that During negotiations with the Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia, the American side wants to find out whether Kiev is ready to make concessions to Russia to end the war. It will also “watch signs of whether the Ukrainians are serious about improving relationships”.
