WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - According to White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, a US delegation will meet with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia this week to revive negotiations on a rare earth minerals agreement and work toward establishing a ceasefire.
Ukraine "may not survive" the conflict with Russia even with the support of the United States, President Donald Trump has said in an interview with Fox News.

"Well, it may not survive anyway. But you know, we have some weaknesses with Russia. You know, it takes two. It was not gonna happen, that war. And it happened. So now we are stuck with this mess," Trump noted when asked if Ukraine might survive without US support.

A US Defense Department spokesperson told Sputnik that all military assistance to Ukraine was paused from 23:00 GMT on Monday.

Dealing With Ukraine is More Difficult Than Dealing With Russia, US President Trump Says
On Wednesday, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz confirmed that there was a pause in US military aid to Ukraine and said it could be lifted if negotiations on the rare earths deal succeeded.
Western countries have ramped up their military aid to Kiev since the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. Russian officials have warned that any cargo containing weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russian strikes.
