According to special ambassador Steve Witkoff, the ceasefire proposal applies to energy infrastructure and infrastructure in general. Still, Russia struck the Ukrainian civilian infrastructure at night.
US Ambassador to Ukraine negotiations Steve Witkoff tells Fox News that negotiations with Russia about the Ukrainian war will continue in Jedda, Saudi Arabia this coming Sunday.
According to Witkoff Mike Waltz and the Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. However, he could not specify who was involved in the Russian administration.
“We are leaving for a group of Saudi Arabia and is led by the National Security Advisor and Foreign Minister,” Witkoff said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday.
Earlier on Tuesday, the White House announced that negotiations will be held, among other things, on the implementation of a ceasefire in the Black Sea, reaching a full ceasefire and permanent peace.
-These negotiations begin immediately in the Middle East, the White House statement reported.
In addition, Witkoff clarified the content of the United States ceasefire proposal when Fox News asked if the ceasefire only applies to energy infrastructure.
“No, it applies to energy infrastructure and infrastructure in general,” Witkoff said.
However, Russia continued its attacks on the Ukrainian civil infrastructure just a few hours after, US President Donald Trump and the Russian president Vladimir Putin had had their telephone conversation. During the discussion, Putin is said to have accepted the proposal that Russia and Ukraine will end each other’s energy infrastructure for 30 days.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyi Early Wednesday reported on a message service on Telegram that Russia launched over 40 aircraft overnight. For example, in the city of Sumy, the Russian flight has damaged the hospital building, Zelenskyi explained.
“It is precisely this kind of Russian night attacks that destroy our energy system, our infrastructure, the lives of ordinary Ukrainians,” Zelenskyi said in his Telegram message.
– Today, Putin actually rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire. For the whole world, it would be right for all Putin’s attempts to prolong the war, Zelenskyi adds.
