While top American officials prepare for a meeting with Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, there are questions about how Trump’s administration will encourage Moscow to extend a preliminary interruption of fire.
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed this week that he would temporarily stop the strikes in Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which includes the largest European nuclear power plant, The Passwords nuclear power plant.
State Secretary Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who will both travel to Jeddah for negotiations, said that the next step would be to secure a ceasefire over the Black Sea.

Moscow has previously agreed to a similar agreement taken by Turkey and the United Nations in 2022, known as the Initiative for the Black Sea grain, which tried to provide Ukrainian exports of agricultural products for the control of global prices, but Putin pulled out of that Agreement in 2023.
Security experts remain unconvinced Putin can be trusted This time.
But there is another question that will obviously be on the negotiating table in the Middle East – the nuclear energy of Ukraine.
As the presidential focus seems to have reduced the mineral agreement with Ukraine, he was interested in his interest with a new business venture, an American “owned” over Kiyiv “electric supply and nuclear power plants”.
“American ownership of these plants would be the best protection of that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure,” said a joint statement published by Rubio and Waltz after Trump’s phone call on Wednesday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Asked by Fox News Digital how Putin, who has He was interested In the Nuclear Passage of the Potorizhzhia, she will respond to Trump’s new ambitions, Rebekah Koffler, a former intelligence officer and author of “Putin’s Playing”, said she did not think she would go well.
“Putin is almost certainly not advocating for this idea and will try to sabotage such an agreement,” said Koffler, who met NATO officials in Ukraine in Ukraine in Ukraine before the 2022 invasion. “Moreover, Zelenskyy is unlikely to log out for such a job as well.
“Zelenskyy is likely to agree to give control of the Nuclear Passage Passage of the United States, which is currently under Russian control. The Russians will not voluntarily give up control over password. If one tries to take it by force, they will fight to the bitter area.”

It is unclear when Trump’s interest in gaining Ukrainian energy infrastructure has begun, although it seems to be associated with his previous claims that Ukraine will be better protected if he has US workers and companies operating within his borders.
Discussed the basis of this argument because there were other, US businesses business In Ukraine during the Russian invasion. Last month, the debate contributed to the blowing of an oval office between Trump and Zelenskyy.
Koffler said that Putin could have considered the American download of four nuclear power plants as a “rear path” for now to expand some security guarantees for Ukraine and a “smart way of controlling Nuclear abilities of Ukraine, which the Russians believe can be militarized.”
What follows in Russia, Ukraine stops fire?
“That would be considered a threat to Russia,” Koffler said.
Asked how US ownership of Ukrainian energy infrastructure could affect negotiations, former CIA Moscow Station chief Dan Hoffman told Fox News Digital that he was not convinced that he would have a lot of influence on actually ensuring peace.
“Show me a contract. We have no agreement yet. We have a break of fire that is broken on energy infrastructure,” Hoffman said. He noted that even after Putin agreed to stop attacking Ukrainian infrastructure on Tuesday, the next morning the stroke of an unmanned aircraft and rail system In the Dnipropetrovsk region, which led to the disappearance of civilian authorities.

“It’s just another discussion. There are so many other questions that are far greater importance. What Putin would probably do for his negotiating strategy is to say,” Oh, yes, I’ll let you do the United States, but I want to do it in return. “
“He wants Ukraine. He wants to to overthrow the government. That’s his goal, “Hoffman added.” No matter what he agrees in the short term, what he really wants to do is destroy Ukraine’s ability to distract Russia in the future and give Russia a maximum advantage.
“Right now, he can get negotiations about what he can’t acquire on the battlefield.”
Although numerous issues will be discussed, the former head of the CIA Moscow station station said that the true key in achieving any kind of tribute will need to be an authentic signal from Putin who actually wants the war to end.
“The big question that John Ratcliffe must answer to me explains why Putin wants to break fire. I would claim not to,” Hoffman said about CIA director. “There is no zero indication that he wants him.

“If he wanted to stop the war and stop the murder of his own people and stop shed so much blood and mild, he would stop him,” Hoffman claimed.
Finally, Hoffman said, watching most of the main wars concluded, history suggests that the war in Ukraine can really end only on the battlefield.
“One side loses, one side wins or both sides no longer have the means to fight,” Hoffman said. “That’s how the wars end.”
