We had discussions about territorial concessions revealed on Wednesday by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, referring to talks between US and Ukraine delegations, which took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The US Secretary of State announced that the US will have contact with Russia on Wednesday on the agreement reached with Ukraine for a 30 -day truce and steps towards ending the war.

US is satisfied that Ukraine came to the negotiating table, Now it depends on Russia To say “yes,” Marco Rubio said.

“If they say no to the peace proposal (Washington – Kiev), then obviously we should look at everything and understand where we are in the world and what their real intentions are. I think if they say no, will tell us a lot about their goals and what is their mentality »he stressed.

“We urge the Russians to end the hostilities, we hope in a positive response from Russia.”

Ukraine needs sufficient deterrent power against future attacks.

Most of the talks with Ukraine on how a negotiating process can be formed, the head of US diplomacy said.

‘There is no military solution In this conflict ‘, The US Foreign Minister repeated.

Finally, satellites could monitor the ceasefire in Ukraine, the US Secretary of State told Ireland reporters after talks with a Ukrainian delegation in Jeddah.

At the same time, the Kremlin does not exclude that a telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US counterpart Donald Trump may arise in the aftermath of the US-Ukraine negotiations, and even quickly, the spokesman said.

“We also do not exclude a higher call from a higher level. If such a need arises, it will be organized very quickly. Existing dialogue channels with Americans allow this to be done in a relatively short time“, He said.

‘We are waiting for information from the US before we answer’

Information by US Secretary of State and White House National Security Adviser Michael Wells awaits the Kremlin before Moscow decides whether or not to accept the proposal for ceasefire to Ukraine 30 days agreed yesterday in Jeddah.

Asked about Moscow’s reaction, Russian Presidency spokesman Dimitri Peskov called on journalists not to hurry and said: “Speaking to the media, both Rubio and Wells said yesterday that they would use various diplomats to us. We must first receive this information. We have also planned contacts with the Americans in the coming days, during which we expect to receive full information. “

What do we know so far about the agreement

According to Politico’s analysis Before Lavrov and Sugar statementsthe main points resulting from the Jeddish Agreement are as follows:

1. The battles could stop immediately if Russia agrees

Trump’s team says he will now transfer the 30 -day truce plan to Moscow. “The ball is now on their court,” Rubio said. Russia is happy with Trump’s attitude so far and the ceasefire does not impose no condition in the Kremlinfrom what is known. According to the ceasefire plan, the cessation of battles will allow humanitarian steps, such as the exchange of prisoners of war, release of prison civilians, “and the return of Ukraine children who were violently transferred,” the joint statement said.

2. Will Putin agree?

In addition to the above statements and conclusions that can come out of them, Western officials have long been skeptical about whether Putin is really interested in long -term peace, even if he accepted a 30 -day truce. Russia is gaining ground on the battlefield.

3. The US is again sharing information with Ukraine

Following the decision to radically stop the provision of military aid and information in Kiev, the US has now agreed to resume cooperation for information exchange. The secuty assistance will also start again, possibly a reference to military assistance.

4. This is not a peace agreement

This is a truce that can be extended if both sides agree. As soon as the battles stop, negotiations on the terms of a permanent peace will begin immediately. Both the US and Ukraine have promised to announce their negotiating teams as soon as possible.

5. This is not a mineral agreement

Trump has made it clear that he wants access to Ukrainian minerals such as lithium, heavenly and titanium. Zelenski was expected to sign some kind of agreement that would give rise to US companies when he visited the White House two weeks ago, but then a public dispute with Trump and Jay Di Vance came up and everything collapsed.

Following the announcement of a ceasefire plan on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that he would again invite Zelenski to the White House.

6. Ukraine has not abandoned any of its territory (yet)

Prior to the talks, Rubio warned Kiev that he would need to make concessions, including the territory. But during the eight -hour discussions in Jeddah on Tuesday, the issue of terminating territory was not even raised, according to an Ukrainian official. The issue is sure to be raised if there are meaningful negotiations for a permanent settlement.

7. Trump has not agreed to provide security guarantees

The US president has made it clear that he is not willing to give “many” guarantees for the future security of Ukraine, believing that this is a European job, not the US. There is nothing in Tuesday’s joint statement showing that this has changed.

8. Europe must ‘get involved’

The statement stated that the Ukrainians wanted the participation of “European partners” in the peace process. However, it was not clear that the American side agreed at this point. Ursula von der Layen and British Prime Minister Kir Starmer hastened to greet progress in talks.

9. After what?

Starmer will convene a meeting of European and other leaders on Saturday. He works with French President Emmanuel Macron to form a “willingful coalition” – countries ready to send troops as peacekeeping or to provide another support to an international mission to adhere to a permanent truce.

The US is not involved in these discussions, as the Trump government has made it clear that there will be no US forces on Ukrainian territory. Much will depend on whether the Starmer and Macron coalition is strong enough to convince the Ukrainians that he will stop Russia’s attack and enough to convince Putin that he is not a threat.
