U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday the United States hopes to resolve the pause in aid to Ukraine during talks Tuesday with Ukrainian officials in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Rubio said the U.S. is in a listening mode and aims to understand what concessions Ukraine might be willing to make.
Later on Monday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, commonly known by his abbreviation MBS, met with Rubio in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.
MBS held a separate meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Riyadh earlier in the day.
On Tuesday, Rubio will join U.S. national security adviser Mike Waltz for the Jeddah talks with Ukrainian officials, as President Donald Trump pushes to broker a swift end to the war.
