US, Ukraine officials to meet next week to talk peace plans

KABUL (Pajhwok): US and Ukrainian officials are set to meet next week in Saudi Arabia for discussions on peace plans, the BBC reported.

Volodymyr Zelensky says he is travelling to Saudi Arabia next week, where talks between Ukrainian and US officials aimed at ending the war will take place.

The Ukrainian president says he will work "constructively" with Trump to reach a "fast" and "lasting" peace.

Earlier, US envoy Steve Witkoff said the idea was to "get down the framework for a peace agreement".

At a summit in Brussels, Zelensky called on European leaders to support steps he's outlined for building a "full and fair" end to the fighting.
