The United States has announced it will resume military aid and intelligence support to Ukraine following a recent agreement between the two nations. This decision comes after Ukraine accepted a proposal from the Trump administration for a one-month ceasefire. The agreement was reached during high-level talks held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday.
This meeting marked the first significant engagement between U.S. officials and Ukraine since military aid was frozen earlier this year. The freeze occurred after a controversial phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, which drew considerable media attention.
In a joint statement released after the talks, both the U.S. and Ukraine emphasized that the discussions were crucial for paving the way toward lasting peace in Ukraine. This development follows more than three years since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine has expressed its willingness to implement the U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. This ceasefire could be extended if both parties agree, and it will require acceptance from Russia as well. The U.S. has committed to notifying Moscow about this agreement.
The statement also confirmed that the U.S. would immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine. These talks came on the heels of recent large drone strikes exchanged between Ukraine and Russia, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.
This story is still unfolding, and updates are expected as the situation develops.
