Delegates from Kyiv on Tuesday has agreed to accept the President Trump’s proposal of a 30-day interim ceasefire with Russia.

This was revealed in a joint statement meeting held in Saudi Arabia: “Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.”

“The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace,” the statement added.

Recall that last week, the US suspended military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after the bitter meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump at the White House, which led to the Trump’s administration to paused intelligence sharing with Kyiv.

However, there is also no indication of whether Russia will accept the 30-day ceasefire proposal.

Trump briefly addressed the 30-day ceasefire announcement outside the White House on Tuesday, telling reporters: “Ukraine has agreed to it and hopefully Russia will agree to it.” Asked whether Zelenskyy would be invited back to the White House, Trump responded: “Sure, absolutely.”

Zelenskyy welcomed the ceasefire proposal as a “positive step,” saying in his nightly address to the nation that Ukraine wants to “do everything to achieve peace as quickly and reliably as possible — so that war never returns.”

 In Tuesday’s joint statement, the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations said Trump and Zelenskyy had “agreed to conclude as soon as possible” a deal to develop Ukraine’s critical mineral resources, a pact designed to “expand” Ukraine’s economy and “guarantee Ukraine’s long-term prosperity and security.”

The minerals deal was halted after the Trump-Zelenskyy clash.

The Saudi Arabia talk were anchored by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Andrii Sybiha,Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerovand Andriy Yermak, the chief of Zelenskyy’s presidential office.

Part of the Tuesday statement read: “Representatives of both nations praised the bravery of the Ukrainian people in defense of their nation and agreed that now is the time to begin a process toward lasting peace.

“The Ukrainian delegation reiterated the Ukrainian people’s strong gratitude to President Trump, the U.S. Congress, and the people of the United States for making possible meaningful progress toward peace,” it added.
