U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Monday for U.S.-Ukraine talks as President Donald Trump pushes to broker a swift end to the Russia-Ukraine war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also arrived Monday to the Gulf state for meetings with Saudi officials. But he will not attend Tuesday’s talks with U.S. officials.
Rubio spoke to reporters while traveling to Jeddah about his expectations for the talks Tuesday with Ukrainian officials.
U.S. officials have said the goal for Tuesday's talks is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial ceasefire.
While in Jeddah, Rubio will also meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud to discuss ways to advance shared interests in the region and strengthen the U.S.-Saudi relationship, said State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
