Ukraine is expected to propose an air and sea ceasefire during a meeting with American officials tomorrow to curry favour with an administration that has suggested Kyiv is not serious about peace.
Ukrainian and American officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to discuss how to bring an end to the war with Russia. The US held meetings with a Russian delegation last month.
The Ukrainian delegation - under the advisement of Sir Keir Starmer’s national security adviser, Jonathan Powell - is expected to propose this partial ceasefire in the hope that it will encourage the US to end the suspension of intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
On the eve of the talks, Mr Trump suggested that Ukraine may not outlast the Russian war even with support from the US but said the US has “just about” ended the suspension of intelligence sharing.
It also comes after Russia accused the UK of being the “main instigator” in global conflict after expelling two British diplomats from Moscow.
Despite Russian pressure, the UK remains “fully committed” to supporting Ukraine and Sir Keir will host a virtual meeting with world leaders to discuss further aid to Kyiv.

It comes in the wake of an extraordinary public argument between Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky and JD Vance at the White House less than a fortnight ago, where the US president claimed Zelensky was not ready to end the fighting.
Ahead of the meeting, Trump has been both upbeat and negative about the outlook, saying he believed there would be “a lot of progress” but also that he was not sure if Ukraine would survive the war.

World leaders will attempt to make further progress on plans to put peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine at an upcoming virtual summit hosted by the UK on Saturday, Downing Street said.
So far, 20 countries have expressed interest in being part of the “Coalition of the willing”, a spokesperson for the prime minister said while reiterating Britain’s commitment to supporting Ukraine.
"We're fully committed to working with Ukraine, supporting Ukraine, working with the United States and our informal partners to drive progress towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, and that is our focus,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said Russia’s renewed assault at the weekend was a reminder of the country’s “barbaric and violent actions on a sovereign country”.
They continued: “We will continue to support Ukrainian people in their engagement for freedom, and we'll continue to support Ukraine through the talks this week.”

Sir Keir Starmer will host another urgent meeting on Ukraine this weekend where world leaders will discuss further assistance for Kyiv.
The virtual meeting will build on the prime minister’s summit earlier this month, where he announced a “coalition of the willing” to support Kyiv.
A spokesperson for the prime minister said the talks were vital for the collective security of Europe.
When asked whether Russian assets would be used to fund aid for Ukraine, the spokesperson said:
“We are working with G7 partners to look at the possibilities in this space.
“ We are very clear that Russia must pay for the damage it is causing Ukraine, so we will pursue all routes to that end, alongside our allies.”
Polish PM says true leadership is 'never arrogance', following Starlink spat

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called on leaders to “respect” allies, a day after a social media fight between top Polish and US officials over Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites.
The spat began after Musk, now a senior advisor to Donald Trump, tweeted that his Starlink internet satellite system was the “backbone of the Ukrainian army”.
He continued: “Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off.”
It sparked a response from Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, who pointed out that Starlinks for Ukraine were funded by Poland at the cost of about $50 million a year.
Musk responded: “Be quiet, small man. You pay a tiny fraction of the cost. And there is no substitute for Starlink.”
Be quiet, small man.

You pay a tiny fraction of the cost.
And there is no substitute for Starlink.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also weighed into the online fight, saying Sikorski was “[j]ust making things up” by suggesting that Musk was considering ending Starlink’s contracts with the Ukrainian military.
Without mentioning the spat, Tusk said on Monday that true leadership was never about arrogance.
“True leadership means respect for partners and allies.“Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it,” he wrote on X.

Russia has stepped up its attacks on the UK after it expelled two British diplomats from Moscow, accusing the UK of being the “main instigator” of global conflict.
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service said London had felt threatened by the repairing of relations between the US and Russia.
It said the UK feared this would cause its “strategy of containing Moscow” and having “control over Ukraine” to fail.
"As we can see, London today, just as it did on the eve of both world wars of the last century, acts as the main 'instigator' of the global conflict," the agency said in comments reported by Sky News.
"At the same time, the British themselves, obviously, are again counting on sitting it out on their island.”
The British Foreign Office earlier said Russia was making “malicious and baseless accusations” of spying, after Moscow expelled two diplomats.

Donald Trump has been upbeat about the potential outcome of peace talks with Ukraine.
Teams of diplomats from the US and Ukraine are travelling to Saudi Arabia for negotiations on Tuesday, and the US wants to see material concessions from Ukraine to secure a lasting peace.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was travelling to Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, said his chief of staff Andriy Yermak will lead the Ukrainian team alongside Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the American team.
Sybiha spoke with Rubio on Friday ahead of Tuesday’s negotiations, and Sybiha described the call as “constructive”.
Trump also sounded positive when speaking ahead of the meeting.
“I think you're gonna have eventually — and maybe not in the distant future — you're gonna have some pretty good results coming out of Saudi Arabia this week," Trump said from Air Force One.
It’s a departure from his comments in a Fox interview, where he suggested Ukraine “may not survive” the war with Russia.

"We collaborate as the UK government with the Ukraine government at lots of levels, and so I don't think it's a surprise that our people are talking to their people,” he said.
“Our role in this is to make sure that Ukraine is in the strongest position possible.
"Peace will only be secured through that strength, that's why we did the aid package that we did last week, and then alongside that we've been doing significant diplomatic efforts with our European counterparts."

Russia has ordered two British diplomats to leave the country within a fortnight after accusing them of spying, as relations between Moscow and the rest of Europe continue to strain.

Trump halting intel to Ukraine and Russia's advance in Kursk related, says ISW

Russia’s battlefield successes in Kursk and the suspension of US intelligence sharing by the Trump administration are correlated, according to a US-based think tank.
“The temporal correlation between the suspension of US intelligence sharing with Ukraine and the start of Russia's collapse of the Ukrainian Kursk salient is noteworthy,” the Institute for the Study of War said.
It pointed to how the Trump administration suspended US intelligence sharing with Ukraine on 5 March, although there were conflicting reports about the details about the US suspension.
“Russian forces intensified offensive operations to expel Ukrainian forces from Kursk Oblast on 6 and 7 March. A source reportedly affiliated with Ukrainian military intelligence started reporting more rapid Russian advances in Kursk oblast on 5 March,” the ISW said.
It added: “ A direct link between the suspension of US intelligence sharing and the start of the collapse of Ukraine's salient in Kursk oblast is unclear, although Kremlin officials have recently announced their intention to take advantage of the suspension of US military aid and intelligence sharing to "inflict maximum damage" to Ukrainian forces "on the ground" during the limited time frame before the possible future resumption of US intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine.”
Vladimir Putin is the only winner in Donald Trump’s risky intelligence game

Arpan Rai
As our world affairs editor reports from Ukraine, Russia is exploiting Donald Trump’s decision to withhold intelligence by stepping up its attacks and, in the process, is regaining ground in Kursk.
Elite Russian airborne and marine units, backed by North Korean soldiers, launched full-frontal assaults on the Ukrainians with artillery, drones and air attacks. The absence of US intelligence is giving Russia a crucial advantage. “We’re losing,” one Ukrainian fighting in Kursk told this newspaper.
The vast intelligence community of the US, with 18 agencies, previously provided Kyiv with crucial information, including satellite imagery. Without it, Ukrainian forces have far less real-time knowledge of Russian formations, movements, logistics and warnings of missile attacks.

Russian forces making 'swift' advances in Kursk, war bloggers say

Russian military war bloggers are claiming that Russia’s forces are advancing further in Kursk as part of a major encirclement operation aimed at forcing thousands of Ukrainian soldiers to either flee or surrender in western Russia.
Russian forces have cleared the settlement of Ivashkovsky and are advancing on the so called "cauldron" in Kursk from at least seven directions, according to the Two Majors war blogger.
Yuri Podolyaka, a Ukrainian-born, pro-Russian military blogger, said he was having trouble keeping up with events as the Russian advance was so swift and that Ukrainian units were trapped in several pockets in Kursk.
The claims came as Russia said it had recaptured three more settlements in Kursk yesterday after special forces crept for miles through a gas pipeline near the town of Sudzha in an attempt to surprise Ukrainian forces.
Zelensky travels to Saudi Arabia today for peace talks
06:00
Volodymyr Zelensky is headed to Saudi Arabia to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman today, ahead of talks between Ukrainian and US officials amid a dramatic push from Washington to end the war by any means.
Mr Zelensky is expected to meet Mohammed bin Salman, whose Saudi Arabia has played various mediating roles since Russia's 2022 invasion, including brokering prisoner exchanges and hosting talks between Russia and the United States last month.
The talks today between US and Ukrainian officials – the first official meeting since a disastrous Oval Office encounter between Mr Zelensky and Donald Trump – are expected to focus on a bilateral minerals deal and how to end the war.
Mr Zelensky has said he will not attend the talks with US officials and that the Ukrainian delegation will include his chief of staff, his foreign and defence ministers and a top military official in the presidential administration.
"On our side, we are fully committed to constructive dialogue, and we hope to discuss and agree on the necessary decisions and steps," Mr Zelensky said in a post on X.
"Realistic proposals are on the table. The key is to move quickly and effectively."
The United States, once Ukraine's main ally, has upended its wartime policies in its stated pursuit of a rapid end to the fighting, engaging directly with Moscow while cutting off military assistance and intelligence sharing for Kyiv.

Russian forces recaptured three more settlements in Russia's western Kursk region, the defence ministry said, part of an operation to evict Ukrainian troops holding chunks of territory seven months after a cross-border incursion.
The ministry statement, posted on the Telegram app, followed reports by Russian bloggers that Russian special forces had crept for miles through a gas pipeline near the town of Sudzha in an attempt to surprise Ukrainian forces.
The three settlements now under Russian control according to the ministry – Malaya Lokhnya, Cherkasskoye Porechnoye and Kositsa -- all lie north of Sudzha.
"The Russian Federation's armed forces are continuing to rout groups of the Ukrainian army on the territory of Kursk region," the statement said.
Ukraine has not confirmed the loss of territory in its daily update.
A statement from Ukraine’s airborne assault forces said that Russian soldiers had used the pipeline in an attempt to gain a foothold, but the Russians were promptly detected and attacked with rockets, artillery and drones.
The Ukrainian military's General Staff in a late afternoon report said its forces repelled 15 Russian attacks in Kursk region, with six armed clashes still ongoing. It also reported 12 Russian air strikes on their positions.

One issue to be addressed in Jeddah is the fate of a minerals deal between the US and Ukraine, with Kyiv wanting to include a US security guarantee in exchange for access to certain mineral resources in Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump had been slated to sign that accord during Mr Zelensky's Washington visit. But after the White House blowup between the two men, it was not signed.
Since then, both sides have expressed a renewed willingness to sign the deal, but no signing has yet occurred. Mr Trump yesterday said he thought Ukraine would sign it, with a caveat that he wanted Mr Zelensky's government to show that it wanted peace.
"They will sign the minerals deal but I want them to want peace... They haven't shown it to extent they should," he said.

A delegation of Ukrainian and American officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to discuss how to bring an end to the war with Russia.
American officials will use the talks to decide whether Kyiv is interested in a "realistic" peace deal, one of them told Reuters, as well as repairing the damage to relations with the US after Donald Trump's Oval Office clash with Volodymyr Zelensky.
The US will be represented by secretary of state Marco Rubio, national security adviser Mike Waltz and Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.
"You can't say 'I want peace,' and, 'I refuse to compromise on anything,'" one of the US officials said of the upcoming talks.
"We want to see if the Ukrainians are interested not just in peace, but in a realistic peace," said the other official. "If they are only interested in 2014 or 2022 borders, that tells you something."
The Ukrainian officials will be led by Andriy Yermak, Mr Zelensky's chief of staff.
In his nightly video address yesterday, Mr Zelensky said will travel to Saudi Arabia today to “continue to work for the sake of peace”.

'Say thank you' Rubio tells Poland amid Starlink spat

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Poland's foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski of "making things up" and suggested on Sunday he was ungrateful.
Poland pays for Kyiv to use the services of Elon Musk's Starlink, which provides crucial internet connectivity to Ukraine and its military.
Musk, a high-profile figure in the administration of US President Donald Trump, said in a post on his X social media platform on Sunday that Ukraine's "entire front line would collapse if I turned it (Starlink) off".
He said he was "sickened by years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will inevitably lose".
The US government has already revoked some access to satellite imagery for Ukraine and paused intelligence sharing, piling pressure on Kyiv as Trump seeks a swift end to the war, now in its fourth year after Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
US negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to the service, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in February.
"Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year," Sikorski wrote on X later on Sunday.
"The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers."
Rubio hit back at Sikorski, saying in a post on X that he was "making things up" and that "No-one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink".
"And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now," Rubio added.
Musk later said he would “never” cut Starlink off despite disagreeing with Ukraine.
