The United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) issued a statement on Tuesday urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine after the negotiations with the United States in Riyadh.
"We are in close contact with US and Ukraine following the conclusion of talks in Riyadh today," the statement read. "President Zelensky [sic] has already shown Ukraine is the party of peace by proposing a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. We hope that President Putin will agree to this without further delay."
Earlier in the day, the US confirmed that Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea and to stop attacking each other's energy facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky affirmed his country's readiness to adhere to the conditions of the truce.
