Ukraine and the United States have indicated they will meet in Saudi Arabia next week to discuss a framework for ending Russia’s war, as Moscow launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure.
Russia’s attack overnight on Thursday came after Washington suspended military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv after a fiery exchange between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
It will be the first high-level gathering of US and Ukrainian officials since the February 28 meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump devolved into a shouting match and ended with the Ukrainian leader being asked to leave the White House. Following the public spat, Trump severed intelligence-sharing and aid to Ukraine.
