JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, March 10, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday he hoped Washington's cutoff of military aid could be "resolved" during critical talks in Saudi Arabia aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine.

"I think the notion of the pause in aid, broadly, is something I hope we can resolve. Obviously what happens tomorrow will be key to that," the chief US diplomat told reporters shortly before arriving in Jeddah for meetings with Ukrainian officials.
