"US, Russia, Ukraine to Meet in Saudi Arabia Within Days... Discussing End of War"
AFP reported that within a few days, a trilateral meeting between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine will be held in Saudi Arabia to discuss ending the Ukraine war.
On the 15th (local time), the agency cited U.S. government officials saying that U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio, White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who is in charge of the Middle East and recently involved in prisoner release negotiations between the U.S. and Russia, will head to Saudi Arabia.
According to Politico, Secretary Rubio will visit Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia from the 15th to the 18th as part of his scheduled Middle East tour. Advisor Waltz is expected to join in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier, on the 12th, U.S. President Donald Trump said after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding plans for a face-to-face meeting, "We will probably meet first in Saudi Arabia."
Because of this, there are speculations that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who is close to both U.S. and Russian leaders, may play the role of mediator in the peace negotiations.
