Negotiations for a the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, aiming to establish a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, are currently underway in Saudi Arabia, involving a US delegation and Russian negotiators. The discussions also cover the issue of “line of control” between the two countries and touch upon “confidence-building measures,” including the return of Ukrainian children taken by Russia. While some view Sir Keir Starmer’s suggestion of a “coalition of the willing” to provide ground troops in Ukraine after a ceasefire as unrealistic, US officials emphasize the role of NATO and the difference from World War Two. The ongoing conflict sees Russia launching a third consecutive overnight attack on Kyiv, causing damage and casualties, despite Ukraine’s air force shooting down many drones in response.
