New York: After United States President Donald Trump’s conversation with Russian president Putin on the ceasefire agreement in Ukraine the United States expects Ukraine to support agreements which are set to begin in Jeddah on Sunday, reports said.
In a recent interview with local news agency Witkoff described his discussions with Putin, saying, “I had two meetings with President Putin. The first one was for somewhere close to three and a half hours, and the second one was close to four hours.”
He continued, “They were both compelling. I thought we accomplished quite a bit, and in the second meeting, we actually really narrowed the issues, certainly from the Russian standpoint, we were immediately in discussions on tangible, granular ways to move forward towards a ceasefire that included what you’ve heard about today, which is the ceasefire with regard to energy infrastructure from both sides, something they’ve been trying to put together for quite some time.”
He also highlighted another key component of the negotiations, stating, “And secondly, what people colloquially refer to as the Black Sea, maritime aspect of a ceasefire. I think both of those are now agreed to by the Russians. I am certainly hopeful that the Ukrainians will agree to it.”
Witkoff confirmed that while progress had been made, there were still unresolved details that would be addressed during the upcoming talks, reported TASS.
“The sides have some details to work out, of course, but that will begin on Sunday in Jeddah.”
He expressed confidence that discussions would advance further, explaining, “And beyond that, we’ll move to a full ceasefire, and we had some very good conversation today on the ingredients to achieve that. So all in all, really positive results.”
