Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – In a dynamic exchange that has captured global attention, the US and Ukrainian delegations wrapped up a highly productive dialogue in Riyadh. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov described the talks as focused, with key issues on energy and the quest for a just, lasting peace taking center stage.
On social media platform X, Umerov emphasized Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy's commitment to achieving peace for Ukraine and Europe, stating, "We are working to make that goal a reality." This bold vision has resonated with many young people who believe in the power of diplomatic drive and positive change. ✨
The Ukrainian delegation also included State Secretary Oleksandr Karasevych, deputy heads of the President's Office Pavlo Palisa and Ihor Zhovkva, alongside Deputy Energy Minister Mykola Kolisnyk. Their meeting follows a recent session in Jeddah, where Ukraine accepted a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire plan to help lift the pause on military aid and intelligence sharing.
Adding further intrigue to the unfolding story, talks in Riyadh come ahead of planned meetings between US and Russian delegations, with the Russian side already reported to have arrived in the city. This positions Riyadh as a growing hub for high-stakes diplomacy that could help steer the future direction of energy strategies and peace efforts. 🚀
