US President Donald Trump has suggested a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine and potential diplomatic resolution. China has offered to help organize a US-Russia summit, but its ties to the Kremlin have raised skepticism in Europe and the US. Trump reiterated that his administration’s priority remains the cessation of hostilities, with continued US assistance to Ukraine contingent on securing guarantees for financial aid provided. The proposal comes as tensions remain high, with Russian strikes killing civilians in Ukraine and escalating drone attacks. Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council has imposed sanctions on former President Petro Poroshenko amid ongoing legal troubles and potential election interference.
