According to them, officials from the US administration will meet with both Ukrainian and Russian representatives in the coming days. The sources did not specify the exact participants in the talks.

US President Donald Trump said earlier that various kinds of talks would take place in Saudi Arabia and that he hoped for "a lot of progress" on resolving the Ukrainian conflict as a result.
