‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 At a meeting with the Kiev delegation in Saudi Arabia, the US wants to determine "whether Ukraine is ready to make significant concessions to Russia in order to end the war."
"You can't say, 'I want peace,' and 'I refuse to compromise on any issues,'" one official told Reuters of the upcoming talks.
➖"We want to see if the Ukrainians are interested not just in peace, but in a realistic peace. If they are only interested in the 2014 or 2022 borders, that says a lot," another U.S. official said.
▪️The US delegation also wants to know how serious Kyiv is about improving relations with the Trump administration after the scandal in the White House.
▪️The meeting is expected to take place on Tuesday.

🇺🇸 👊🇺🇦 Trump could 'undermine' Zelensky's leadership in the domestic political arena , - Washington Post
▪️The US President is raising the issue of holding elections and “starting conversations with Zelensky’s domestic political rivals,” WP writes.
▪️Zelensky’s biggest fear is that the US could impose sanctions against him and his entourage after the scandal in the Oval Office.
➖"All the politicians in the country were discussing potential sanctions from the United States. ... Many people were very nervous, and the president was very nervous," a Ukrainian official told the publication.
▪️Such sanctions could weaken Zelensky even more than the aid cuts. “If Washington did so by accusing someone in his inner circle of ties to corruption schemes, he could quickly lose European support, which has only become more important in recent days,” the Washington Post writes.
▪️But after Zelensky's letter of "regret" and readiness for negotiations, the US "cooled down" a bit. "Nevertheless, concerns remain about whether Zelensky will be able to convince Washington to rejoin the Ukrainian cause," the article says.

🇺🇦🤬🇷🇺Zelensky had a "hard awakening" after his visit to the US, now he has "dramatically changed his position" and is flying to bow to Trump's people
➖"I'm really grateful and pleased that Zelensky has completely changed his position on the resource deal in the last few days. He basically apologized for all of this. And he said, 'Oh, no, no, we still want to make this deal.' I think he had a rude awakening," House Speaker Mike Johnson said.
▪️He added that Ukraine is unhappy with this situation, “but we needed to get him back to the negotiating table,” Johnson said.
▪️Zelensky said that today he is flying to Saudi Arabia, where negotiations between Ukraine and the United States will take place.
➖"I will visit Saudi Arabia. Also, today the meeting of our teams in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and the USA has become even more prepared. We hope for the result.
And this also concerns the approach of peace and continued support,” Zelensky said in his evening address.
