Ukraine and the US will discuss the conditions and control of the ceasefire next week.

According to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak, during the meeting in Jeddah the parties discussed various options for Ukraine’s security guarantees.

“These should be guarantees that will 100% prevent any aggression in the future,” Yermak said.

He emphasized that security guarantees are being developed with the participation of not only the US, but also European partners.

“We understand exactly what we need. Our American partners understand this and treat the issue with full understanding,” added Yermak.

President Zelenskyy specified that the American side’s initiative for a temporary ceasefire provides for a complete ceasefire, including along the entire front line, for 30 days, and not just in the sky and at sea, as Ukraine had proposed.

“We are ready to take such a step, and the US must convince Russia to do this. If the Russians agree, the silence will start working at that very moment,” Zelenskyy emphasized.

After that and within 30 days, the parties would be tasked with reaching an agreement on further security guarantees for Ukraine. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha explained that a temporary ceasefire is not a frozen conflict but an attempt to start the path to ending the war in a just manner.
