JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — The Trump administration will immediately lift its pause on military and intelligence support for Ukraine after Kyiv’s endorsement of a U.S. ceasefire proposal, according to a joint statement by Ukraine and the United States.

It was not immediately clear whether Moscow will accept the proposal.

The agreement followed a more than eight-hour meeting between senior U.S. and Ukrainian officials here in Saudi Arabia.

“We’ll take this offer now to the Russians,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters after the meeting. “We hope the Russians will reciprocate.”

The mere fact that U.S. and Ukrainian officials were able to agree on a joint statement, much less one of substance, marked a significant improvement in relations after the contentious row between the two nations’ presidents in the Oval Office and the abrupt suspension of U.S. military support for Kyiv.
