No Ukraine deal amid US-Russia Saudi talks

Published on March 25, 2025 at 03:46 PM

After several hours of meeting, no deal emerged from Washington’s talks with both Kyiv and Moscow in Saudi Arabia, Tuesday, on any ceasefire with Russia still demanding that the US order Kyiv to enter a new deal on the Black Sea.

US President Donald Trump is pushing for a rapid end to Russia’s invasion and had hoped the latest round of talks in Saudi Arabia would pave the way for a truce.It was gathered that Kyiv held a brief second round of talks with US officials

Tuesday, a day after hours of US-Russia negotiations ended without breakthroughs announced.

Earlier this month, Ukraine agreed to a US-proposed unconditional ceasefire but Russia turned it down, with Kyiv accusing it of wanting to gain more battlefield advantage first.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov gave no sign that Moscow was closer to agreeing to a wider ceasefire, instead calling for a new Black Sea deal more beneficial for Russian exports.
​
“We are, as the president said, for restarting in some kind of form, in a more acceptable way for everyone, the Black Sea Initiative,”; Lavrov said.

According to him, Russia does not want anybody to try to push it out of the grain and fertiliser market.

The previous Black Sea agreement allowed millions of tonnes of grain and other food exports to be shipped safely from Ukraine’s ports, but Russia had complained that it was not beneficial for its trade.

Lavrov called on the US to order Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team to enter such a deal, accusing Western countries of trying to contain Russia like Napoleon and Hitler.
