The talks between Ukrainian and US representatives in Saudi Arabia on Monday will focus primarily on technicalities surrounding a potential limited ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry in Kiev said.
"This is a meeting to establish the parameters for the various proposed ceasefire options currently on the table," Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said on Friday.
Tykhyi reiterated that Ukraine had agreed to the US proposal for a full ceasefire lasting 30 days and again blamed Russia for the failure to implement any sort ceasefire so far.
He added that Ukraine had no information on how the separate negotiations between the US and Russia would unfold in Riyadh, noting that Ukraine is preparing only for talks with American representatives.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will not travel to the Gulf state, but Defence Minister Rustem Umerov is set to participate.
Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia’s all-out invasion for over three years.
The talks in Riyadh are set to focus on a US proposal to protect shipping in the Black Sea by implementing a limited maritime ceasefire.
