Truce and Diplomacy: Why Ukraine Forced the US to Act. Analysis of the Saudi Arabia Meeting


Taras Bilka's vlog analyzes the outcomes of the Saudi Arabia talks, renewal of military aid, and US diplomatic pressure.

Video blogger Taras Bilka analyzed the results of talks between the Ukrainian and US delegations in Saudi Arabia regarding the Peace Plan and a possible truce between Ukraine and Russia. The blogger reminded viewers that this is the 1,113th day of the full-scale war. Key developments include the resumption of intelligence sharing and military aid from the US, as well as a constructive Ukrainian diplomatic approach.

The Ukrainian side proposed a "silence" regime in the skies, sea, and energy sector, along with a prisoner exchange. The US, in turn, suggested a full ceasefire along the entire line of contact for 30 days. The author cautiously noted the challenges of enforcing such a regime, recalling his own experience as a journalist during previous ceasefires in Donbas.

Amid renewed assistance, the limited Russian willingness for peace is discussed, as well as US rhetoric that places the next step on Moscow. The European Union is also ready to play an important role in future peace talks, as stated by the European Commission president.

The article also touches on US domestic politics: Donald Trump’s actions, features of US diplomacy, and the behavior of Elon Musk. The author urges to stay calm, trust Ukrainian diplomacy's achievements, and avoid expecting immediate peace solutions.
