The United States will immediately lift the pause in intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine, according to a joint statement issued after a meeting of the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

In return, Ukraine agreed to accept a U.S. proposal for the immediate introduction of a temporary 30-day cease-fire that can be extended by mutual agreement, subject to acceptance and simultaneous implementation by Russia.

Speaking in Jeddah, Secretary of State Marco Rubio thanked Saudi Arabia for hosting the talks and said it now falls on Russia to accept the cease-fire terms outlined by the U.S. and Ukraine and to move toward “real negotiations” that actually end the war.

“We’ll take this offer now to the Russians. And we hope that they’ll say yes, they’ll say yes to peace. The ball is now in their court,” Rubio said, crediting the outcome of the talks to U.S. President Donald Trump. “The president’s objective here is number one above everything else: He wants the war to end. And I think today Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate.”

Rubio was joined on the U.S. side by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. The Ukrainians were represented by Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
