Ukraine has agreed to a 30-day ceasefire with Russia in return for renewed U.S. intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine, according to a joint statement from Ukraine and the State Department. 

"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. the joint statement read. "The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, this week, working to secure an agreement. 

The U.S. "will immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine," both of which were paused after a contentious meeting between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House Oval Office. 

Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff will be traveling to Russia in the coming days to try and get Vladimir Putin to agree to terms. 

Following eight hours of negotiations with Ukraine officials, Rubio said that "ball is now in [Russia's] court. 

"We'll take this offer now to the Russians. And we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace," Rubio said. "The president's objective here is, number one, above everything else, he wants to the war to end, and I think today Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate."

According to the joint statement, both sides will now name negotiating teams with the hopes that they will "conclude as soon as possible a comprehensive agreement for developing Ukraine's critical mineral resources to expand Ukraine's economy and guarantee Ukraine's long-term prosperity and security."
