Details of Ceasefire in Ukraine to Be Worked Out in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, US Envoy Witkoff Says

"We have some details to work out, of course, but that will begin on Sunday in Jeddah, and beyond that, we'll move to a full ceasefire, and we had some very good conversation today on the ingredients to achieve that," Witkoff told Fox News on Tuesday night.

"Two great leaders coming together for the betterment of mankind. And it was honestly a privilege and an honor for me to sit there and listen to that conversation," the US official emphasized.

"We were immediately in discussions on tangible, granular ways to move forward towards a ceasefire that included what you've heard about today, which is the ceasefire with regard to energy infrastructure from both sides … And secondly, what people colloquially refer to as the Black Sea maritime aspect of a ceasefire. I think both of those are now agreed to by the Russians," he pointed out.

"I am certainly hopeful that the Ukrainians will agree to it … The point is that up until recently, we really didn't have consensus around these two aspects, the energy and infrastructure ceasefire and the Black Sea moratorium on firing. And today we got to that place, and I think it's a relatively short distance to a full ceasefire from there," Witkoff also said.
