Trump envoys meeting with Ukraine officials next week in Saudi Arabia, seeking ‘an initial ceasefire’ 

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff revealed plans Thursday for a summit meeting next week with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia — saying the parties would discuss a possible cease-fire with Russia.

“We’re now in discussions to coordinate a meeting with the Ukrainians… It will be [in] Saudi Arabia. And I think the idea is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial cease-fire as well,” Witkoff told reporters on the White House driveway.

The meeting will attempt to restore US-Ukrainian dialogue after the Trump administration moved to halt the flow of weapons and intelligence to Kyiv in response to an explosive Oval Office meeting Friday featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelensky said at that meeting that he opposed a temporary cease-fire, fueling Trump’s rage.

“We can’t just speak about cease-fire and speak and speak. It will not work,” Zelensky said at that meeting.

Trump told him: “Look, if you could get a cease-fire right now, I tell you you’d take it, so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.”
