LONDON — <\/span>The U.S. and Russia are expected to release a joint statement on Tuesday detailing the outcomes of the latest bilateral meeting in Saudi Arabia discussing a potential path to peace in Ukraine, Russian state media reported.<\/p>\n

Monday’s closed-door talks in Riyadh lasted for 12 hours, a source told the Tass Russian state media agency. A source told the RIA Novosti state media agency that a joint statement on the negotiations will be issued on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Grigory Karasin, the chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, who took part in the talks in Riyadh, told Tass that “the dialogue was detailed and complex but quite useful for us and for the Americans.” Karasin added, “We discussed numerous issues.”<\/p>\n

The talks were expected to include discussions on a potential ceasefire in the Black Sea, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday. That proposal, Peskov said, came from President Donald Trump and was agreed to by Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

A proposed pause in long-range attacks on energy and other critical infrastructure targets was also expected to be part of discussions. Though Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy both agreed to the proposal in principle last week, cross-border strikes have continued.<\/p>\n

U.S. and Ukrainian representatives held talks after the American meeting with the Russian team concluded, a source familiar with the discussions told ABC News.<\/p>\n

On Monday, responding to another round of Russian missile and drone attacks<\/a> on Ukrainian cities, Zelenskyy wrote on social media that “the war was brought from Russia and it is to Russia that the war must be pushed back. They must be the ones forced into peace. They are the ones who must be pressured to ensure security.”<\/p>\n

On Monday night into Tuesday morning, Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched one missile and 139 drones into the country, of which 78 drones were shot down and 34 lost in flight without causing damage.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down five Ukrainian drones over occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n
