Ukrainian and U.S. officials met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to explore a temporary cease-fire in the ongoing conflict with Russia. The discussions are primarily focused on a pause in strikes targeting energy infrastructure and ensuring the safety of maritime operations in the Black Sea. Aiming for a broader 30-day cease-fire that could facilitate negotiations for a permanent peace, both sides are aware of the challenges, as Russia continues to hold firm on territorial and NATO-related demands, prompting worries of further stalled negotiations from the Kremlin.
