After being more cynical about Russians Putin and his intentions earlier today, Ukraine's Zelenskyy is on the wires saying:

  • There was a productive meeting with US partners in Saudi Arabia.
  • Now close to first step in ending any war
  • Proposes starting with silence in the air and at sea.
  • US suggested going further with an immediate and unconditional cease-fire on the ground.
  • We have a good chance to end this war quickly.
  • We do not want to play games with ending war.

The Ukraine deputy prime minister says US is still to decide on conditions to sign the minerals deal
