**US Mediates Talks Between Russia and Ukraine on Cease-Fire**
Negotiations in Saudi Arabia aim to establish a temporary halting of attacks on energy infrastructure.
The United States is set to facilitate crucial talks in Riyadh between Russian and Ukrainian representatives in the coming days. Following recent mutual agreements to pause strikes on energy facilities, discussions will primarily aim to solidify the steps for implementing this temporary truce amid ongoing attacks.
The two nations have tentatively agreed on the need for a cease-fire, with U.S. envoys scheduled to meet Ukrainian officials on Sunday, followed by discussions with their Russian counterparts on Monday. This approach marks a critical point in the conflict, as establishing a 30-day cease-fire could lay the groundwork for more comprehensive peace negotiations.
American representatives, including the appointed U.S. special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, will work to address critical issues such as the security of maritime trade in the Black Sea alongside the cease-fire terms. The Ukrainian delegation is expected to engage in further deliberations after initial talks, contingent on the progress of discussions.
Through these negotiations in Riyadh, hopes persist for a more stable framework that could ultimately lead to lasting peace amidst the backdrop of ongoing hostilities.
