The United States and Ukraine, on Tuesday, released a joint statement that Ukraine was agreeing to a 30-day cease-fire in the war with Russia - presuming Russia likewise agrees. The announcement came after negotiations between Ukraine and the United States hosted by Saudi Arabia.

Ukraine said it would accept a 30-day ceasefire with Russia after talks with the U.S. in Saudi Arabia aimed at ending the fighting on Tuesday, according to a statement issued by the U.S. and Ukraine.

The agreement came after more than eight hours of negotiations between Ukrainian officials and a U.S. delegation led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

"Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by the Russian Federation," the U.S. and Ukraine said in a joint statement released by the State Department. "The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace."

The United States is also agreeing to immediately resume support for Ukraine:

The statement said the U.S. "will immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine."

There is a lot that is still unknown. It's unclear from this whether the United States and Ukraine have reached any concord on the minerals deal.

Also, this ceasefire is contingent on the Russian government agreeing, and that's far from certain. As of this writing, there has been no statement from Russia, nor has there been an independent statement from the United States State Department or Secretary of State Rubio.
