The United States and Ukraine will hold a new round of truce talks in Saudi Arabia this week. According to people familiar with the matter, in addition to the mineral agreement, Trump may also ask Ukraine to give up part of its territory to Russia and hold new elections. (Synopsis: The Russian-Ukrainian war ended this year? Zelensky: Trump's tough stance will stop Putin) (Background supplement: Zelensky: willing to follow Trump's strong leadership, Ukraine "can sign a mineral agreement at any time" to return to the negotiating table) After US President Trump and Ukrainian leader Zelensky broke up in the White House, relations have eased again. The United States and Ukraine will hold a new round of truce talks in Saudi Arabia this week (local time on the 11th). White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said: As President Trump read President Zelensky's message at the joint meeting, the Ukrainian side has shown positive developments. As the talks in Saudi Arabia begin this week, we look forward to hearing more positive news that will finally bring an end to this brutal war and bloodshed. Signing a mineral agreement is not enough? However, according to NBC News reported yesterday (9), two US government officials revealed that Trump has privately told his staff before the US-Ukraine officials meeting in Saudi Arabia this week that simply signing a US-Ukraine mineral agreement is not enough for the United States to resume aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine. According to people familiar with the matter, Trump does hope to facilitate this mineral deal so that the United States can share Ukraine's mineral resources. However, he also demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky be willing to make concessions in peace talks, such as giving up part of its territory to Russia. At the same time, Trump hopes that Zelensky will push for elections in Ukraine and may even consider stepping down as a leader. Since the Russian invasion in 2022, Ukraine has suspended elections under the terms of martial law in its constitution, a state that has not been lifted to this day. Russia has stepped up its offensive against Ukraine after the United States suspended equipment and intelligence sharing with Ukraine last week. According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, last Friday became the worst day of civilian casualties this year, with most casualties occurring in the Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk region. The agency noted that the number of casualties so far in 2025 has exceeded that of the same period in 2024. Congressional Republicans are pressuring the White House to restore aid and intelligence support as soon as possible. The two officials were optimistic, saying that if Zelensky's statement is fulfilled, the supply of weapons and equipment and intelligence sharing may resume as soon as next week. Trump was asked Sunday if he was considering resuming information on Kiev? He also softened: "We've almost started." For now, the United States still provides Ukraine with defensive intelligence, information that helps Ukraine defend itself, because officials believe it is their responsibility to issue early warnings. However, the United States no longer provides offensive intelligence against Russian targets, such as the coordinates of precision strikes. Over the past three years, the United States has continued to provide Ukraine with target intelligence, satellite imagery, and signals intelligence. Today, European allies are struggling to fill some of the gaps, but one Western official noted that a lack of U.S. intelligence has had a significant impact on Ukraine's daily operations. Trump threatened to sanction Russia After Zelensky's position softened, Trump also posted on his social platform Truth Social on the 7th that he would consider imposing large-scale sanctions on Russia to promote Russian-Ukrainian reconciliation: Based on the fact that Russia is currently launching a fierce attack on Ukraine on the battlefield, I strongly consider imposing large-scale sanctions against Russia, including banking sanctions and tariffs, until a ceasefire and a final settlement agreement are reached. For Russia and Ukraine, hurry up and join the negotiations while there is still time. Thank you! Although there are still many uncertainties, if the truce talks between the two sides in Saudi Arabia this week go well, it may be possible to truly end the three-year Ukrainian-Russian war, and it may also be a major good news for the global economic market.
