The United States and Ukraine announced the agreement in a joint statement after nine hours of negotiations in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

In the statement, Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by Russia.
