Ukraine war briefing: US seeking Black Sea ceasefire in talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia
Wide gulf remains between US and Russian expectations for a ceasefire US envoy dismisses UK PMs Ukraine plans as a posture and a pose. What we know on day 1,125A US delegation will seek progress toward a Black Sea ceasefire and a broader cessation of violence in the war in Ukraine when it meets for talks with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia on Monday, after discussions with diplomats from Ukraine on Sunday. The White House says the aim of the talks is to reach a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, allowing the free flow of shipping.A wide gulf remains, however, between the US and Russias expectations, with US envoy Steve Witkoff signalling hope for real progress and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warning that difficult negotiations lie ahead. I think youre going to see in Saudi Arabia on Monday some real progress, particularly as it affects a Black Sea ceasefire on ships between both countries, Witkoff told Fox News. And from that youll naturally gravitate to a fullon shooting ceasefire. Peskov meanwhile told Russian state TV, We are only at the beginning of this path.Witkoff dismissed UK prime minister Keir Starmers attempts to rally peacekeepers in Ukraine as a posture and a pose. He said the idea was based on a simplistic notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking We have all got to be like Winston Churchill.The US envoy also praised Vladimir Putin, saying he liked the Russian president and did not regard Putin as a bad guy. That is a complicated situation, that war, and all the ingredients that led up to it.

The White House is aiming for a truce agreement by 20 April Easter Sunday in both the western and orthodox churches this year. But sources told the news organisation that the date was likely to slip.Ukraines defence minister, Rustem Umerov, said on social media talks with the US delegation were constructive and meaningful and focused on key issues, including the energy sector. Trump has previously suggested the US could control Ukraines nuclear power facilities.At least seven people were killed in a barrage of strikes from more than 140 drones across Ukraine on Sunday, according to local Ukrainian officials and emergency services.

Russian drones and debris from shotdown drones, which were flying at lower altitudes to evade air defences, fell on residential buildings across the Ukrainian capital. At least one child was among those killed.Russian troops reportedly seized the small village of Sribne in Ukraines eastern Donetsk region, while Ukraines army said its troops had recaptured the small village of Nadia in the eastern Luhansk region.Ukraines army has said its troops have recaptured a small village called Nadia in the eastern Luhansk region, in a rare battlefield success for Kyivs forces in an area that Russia has almost fully captured since invading in 2022.
