The two ministers “discussed the following steps after recent meetings in Saudi Arabia and agreed to continue working on communication between the United States and Russia,” said the State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce. It did not bring details on the date of the next round of negotiations between the United States and Russia under the auspices of Saudi Arabia.
Ever since he returned to the White House in January, Trump pointed out that he wanted to complete the three-year conflict. Despite the recent tensions between the President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart of Volodimir Zelenia, Kiev has in principle agreed to the unconditional 30-day covenant under the auspices of the United States, if Moscow interrupts attacks in eastern Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin did not agree to what kind of truce, but instead set the conditions that exceed those in the arrangement of the United States and Ukraine.
The proposal on the break of the fire with the Trump team comes at the time Russia has momentum in many areas of the front in Ukraine.
On Saturday, about thirty leaders of countries and organizations that support Ukraine, during the Virtual Summit, decided to perform “collective pressure” in Russia, for which they would like to continue the war.
“The ball is in the Russian yard”, which will be “sooner or later to be engaged in serious conversations,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, according to which Vladimir Putin “the one trying to postpone” things.
Starmer said Putin would have to “get to the table” eventually.
The military leaders from about 30 countries met on 11. March in Paris to discuss the plans for peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, and will meet again on Thursday in Britain.
French President Emmanuel Macron called on a joint action on Saturday to ensure that Russia accepts the proposed ceasefire.
“This is the moment of truth because Russia is sincerely not dedicated to peace, President Trump will tighten sanctions and retaliation, and that will completely change the dynamics in the interview published on Saturday night.

“Russia must clearly respond and the pressure must be clear, in cooperation with the United States, in order to achieve a ceasefire,” he said in the AFP statement.
The President of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen said that Russia must show that “willing to support a truce that leads to just and lasting peace.”
But Green also warned that Russia wants to achieve “stronger position” military before any breaking fire, for more than three years since it was an invasion of Ukraine.
They want to improve their situation in the battlefield, said Green Journalists in Kiev.
Starmer and Macron said they were willing to send British and French forces on the field in Ukraine, but it is not clear whether other countries do the same.
Russia rejected the idea that such soldiers act as a peacekeeping forces in Ukraine.
But Macron said on Saturday: “If Ukraine asks for allied forces to be on her territory, it is not in Russia to accept it or not.”
Starmer said he welcomes each coalition support offer, increasing the odds that some countries could contribute to logistics or supervision.
The fighting continues, and Moscow regained parts of the country in the border region of Kursk this week.
