The Trump administration lifted its suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine, and Kyiv signalled that it was open to a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia, pending Moscow’s agreement, American and Ukrainian officials said Tuesday following talks in Saudi Arabia.
The administration's decision marked a sharp shift from only a week ago, when it imposed the measures to push Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to enter talks to end the war with invading Russian forces. The suspension of U.S. assistance came days after Zelensky and President Donald Trump argued about the war in a tense White House meeting.
