Again US military aid for Ukraine-yes to ceasefire
A good one and a half weeks after the Disastrous conversation In the White House, the United States has announced the immediate resumption of military and secret service aids for Ukraine. Both sides announced this after talks in the Saudi Arabian coastal town of Dschidda. In turn, Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the USA-depending on Russia's willingness to take such a step.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio then said his government would now present the offer to the Russians. « The ball is now in your field. » Russia had marched into the neighboring country a good three years ago.
Ukraine is grateful
After the conversation in the White House between US President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian head of state Wolodymyr Selenskyj of Ukraine, military and secret service aids canceled on the grounds that Kiev does not show enough will to negotiations of peace. Selenskyj was also attacked at the meeting to show that he did not show enough gratitude for American help. In the statement, the Ukrainian delegation now confirmed the « great gratitude » of the Ukrainian people to President Trump, the US Congress and the American people.
The USA is no longer a reliable partner for most Luxembourgers
According to the message, both sides agreed to form teams of tedges and to start negotiations on a permanent peace that gives Ukraine in the long term. The United States would have undertaken to discuss this with representatives of Russia. Ukraine emphasized that its European partners should be integrated into the peace process.
Mineral agreements should follow
It was also agreed to conclude a comprehensive agreement as soon as possible about the development of the important Ukrainian soil treasures. The agreement should originally be signed at the crooked meeting in the White House.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had already expressed himself optimistically before the conversation and announced that the Ukrainians could expect more US help again if the negotiations went well. The head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andrij Jermak, who leads the Kiev Delegation, was also optimistic: Kiev rely on « very constructive, depth, friendly and partnership talks » with the USA, he said journalists before the start.
Ukrainians and Americans have something to say again
Before the Dschidda round, Rubio had emphasized that diplomacy was the only solution to the war. Both sides should be aware that there is no military solution, he said. Russia could not conquer the entire Ukraine, and « obviously » it would be very difficult for Ukraine to push the Russians back to where they were in 2014. This should mean Rubio the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine. According to the US State Department, Rubio spoke before the meeting of concessions that Ukraine had to do.
