Ukraine hopes to secure 'at least' partial ceasefire at Saudi talks

Ukraine is hoping to secure a partial ceasefire at upcoming talks in Saudi Arabia during which U.S. officials will meet separately with Russian and Ukrainian representatives, a senior Ukrainian official told AFP on Friday.
"We still want to agree on a ceasefire, at least on what we have proposed," the source said, referring to a Russian and Ukrainian halt on strikes on energy sites, civilian infrastructure and attacks in the Black Sea, adding that the Ukrainian delegation on Monday would be led by Defence Minister Rustem Umerov.
