US and Russia Officials to Meet in Saudi Arabia

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are preparing to travel to Saudi Arabia for talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The meeting, announced by President Trump, aims to bring a resolution to the conflict, with details starting to emerge in the American media.

Unnamed US officials revealed to CNN that the American delegation is getting ready to meet with Russian counterparts, although the exact date of the first meeting is yet to be confirmed. While the specific Russian officials attending the talks remain unknown, CNN previously reported the formation of a high-level negotiation team which includes Russian official Kirill Dmitriev, known for his role in behind-the-scenes deals such as the release of American prisoners.

President Trump stated on Friday that American, Russian, and Ukrainian officials will convene in Saudi Arabia next week to discuss the process of ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
