The Trump administration reversed its suspension of military aid to Ukraine, highlighting renewed diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing conflict with Russia. The development follows substantive discussions in Saudi Arabia between U.S. and Ukrainian officials concerning a potential 30-day ceasefire, pending Moscow's agreement.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism about the proposal, remarking, 'Ukraine is ready to stop shooting and start talking.' National Security Adviser Mike Waltz noted that Ukrainian officials aligned with President Trump's vision for a peaceful resolution while emphasizing long-term security arrangements.
