伦敦-美国“差不多”准备好解除其冻结情报共享美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周日表示，在乌克兰问题上，美国和乌克兰谈判代表正准备在沙特阿拉伯举行双边会谈，旨在达成和平协议，结束俄罗斯为期三年的入侵。
当被问及是否会考虑恢复情报共享时，特朗普在空军一号上对记者说:“嗯，我们差不多已经做到了。”“我们希望尽我们所能，让乌克兰认真做些事情，”他补充道。
一名美国官员周一晚间告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)，美国仍未向乌克兰提供用于进攻目的的情报，但继续提供用于防御目的的情报。
特朗普政府已经开始戏剧性地转向前总统对乌克兰的“铁证”支持乔·拜登总统的政府.
特朗普错误地指责乌克兰发动战争，试图破坏弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基总统的合法性美国试图迫使基辅达成一项有争议的矿产共享协议，并冻结军事援助和情报支持，以迫使乌克兰向俄罗斯做出让步。
周二在吉达举行的会谈旨在重振双边关系，此前华盛顿和基辅之间进行了数周的紧张交流，最终导致特朗普、泽连斯基和副总统万斯在椭圆形办公室爆发对峙。
美国驻沙特代表团将包括国务卿马尔科·卢比奥和国家安全顾问迈克·瓦尔兹。乌克兰代表团将由泽连斯基总统办公室主任安德烈·耶尔马克率领。特朗普周日表示，美方预计乌克兰会表现出和解的意愿。
“我们会关注很多事情，”他说。“我们马上要开大型会议。如你所知，沙特阿拉伯将包括俄罗斯。会是乌克兰。我们会看看我们是否能做点什么。”
“我认为每个人都希望看到它完成，”总统补充说。“我们会取得很大的进步。”
“我认为他们会签署矿产协议，”特朗普在被问及这项有争议的协议的进展时表示。“我希望他们想要和平。”特朗普声称乌克兰还没有表现出这种意愿。
特朗普避免回答他是否会对俄罗斯实施制裁或关税，并指出白宫官员即将在沙特阿拉伯举行的会议。当被问及如果矿产协议签署，美国是否会恢复对乌克兰的援助时，总统也避免给出明确的答案。
泽连斯基将于周一前往沙特，会见沙特王储和实际统治者穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼。
乌克兰总统周日在社交媒体上写道:“明天，我们将继续努力推动和平——我将访问沙特阿拉伯。”“此外，今天，我们双方——乌克兰和美国——在沙特阿拉伯举行的会议得到了进一步的准备。我们希望取得成果——无论是在拉近和平还是继续支持方面。”
周一早上，泽连斯基在给《电讯报》的一封邮件中说，“乌克兰从战争的第一秒钟起就一直在寻求和平，我们一直说战争持续下去的唯一原因是俄国。”
一位接近泽连斯基的消息人士向美国广播公司证实，乌克兰将在与美国的会谈中提议部分停火。该消息人士称，部分停火将适用于远程空袭和海上袭击。
停战的时间表仍不清楚。
“我们希望提出一个可以监督的部分停火，然后看看俄罗斯人如何回应，以确定下一步措施，”该消息人士补充说。
卢比奥周一告诉记者，他在乌克兰的部分停火提议中看到了一些希望。
他在与乌克兰官员在沙特阿拉伯举行会议之前表示，“我并不是说光靠这一点就足够了，但为了结束这场冲突，你需要看到这种让步。”。
卢比奥表示，与乌克兰敲定矿产交易是“一个重要的话题，但不是议程上的主要话题。”
“这当然是总统希望看到达成的协议，但不一定要在明天，”他说。"还有更多细节需要解决。"
公开的美乌决裂引发了欧洲领导人的担忧，欧洲领导人都聚集在泽连斯基周围，敦促他修复与特朗普的紧张关系。俄罗斯官员似乎欢欣鼓舞，公开暗示特朗普政府的观点与克里姆林宫一致。
特朗普和他的高级官员表示，预计乌克兰和俄罗斯都将做出让步，以寻求达成和平协议，结束莫斯科的入侵，这本身只是十多年来跨境侵略的最新篇章。
特朗普上周在Truth Social的一篇帖子中表示，他正在“强烈考虑对俄罗斯实施大规模制裁”和关税，直到达成协议，并补充说莫斯科“现在绝对在战场上‘重击’乌克兰。”特朗普还告诉国会联席会议，他收到了“强烈信号”，表明俄罗斯准备讲和。
克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫上周表示，美乌在沙特举行的会谈是一个“积极”的发展，尽管他强调还有一些未解决的“细微差别”
“问题是和谁谈判?”佩斯科夫告诉记者。俄罗斯一再指责泽连斯基是非法总统，理由是乌克兰实施戒严令，导致计划于2024年举行的总统选举推迟。
克里姆林宫还援引了2022年9月乌克兰的一项法令，在该法令中，泽连斯基宣布与普京的谈判“不可能”，此前莫斯科声称已经吞并了四个部分被占领的乌克兰地区。
周一，佩斯科夫告诉记者，俄方对本周会议的解读“并不重要”
“这里重要的是美国在各个层面的期望，”他继续说道。“我们多次听到有人说，美国希望乌克兰人展示他们对和平的渴望。这可能是每个人都在等待的。无论泽连斯基政权的成员是否真的想要和平。当然，这很重要，必须决定。”
佩斯科夫还驳斥了有关美国和俄罗斯官员本周将在沙特再次会晤的报道。“这不是真的，”他告诉记者。
与此同时，俄罗斯和乌克兰都在继续他们的远程导弹和无人机打击活动。俄罗斯周末发动的致命袭击引发了几个欧洲国家的谴责。
例如，波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克在X上写道，“这就是有人安抚野蛮人的结果。更多炸弹，更多侵略，更多受害者。”
根据乌克兰空军的数据，周日晚上，俄罗斯向乌克兰发射了176架无人攻击机，其中130架被击落，42架在飞行中丢失，没有造成损失。空军报告了哈尔科夫，波尔塔瓦和基辅地区的影响。
俄罗斯国防部表示，它在一夜之间击落了9架乌克兰无人机。
乌克兰国家安全和国防委员会下属的反假情报中心负责人安德烈·科瓦连科(Andriy Kovalenko)表示，无人机袭击了萨马拉州的Novokuybyshevsk炼油厂。科瓦连科说，该炼油厂年生产能力为880万吨石油，是该国十大炼油厂之一。
Kovalenko说，该工厂生产各种石油产品，如汽油、柴油和燃料油，用于运输和军事设备。“对于俄罗斯军队来说，这个炼油厂具有战略意义，因为它确保了军事行动的稳定燃料供应，”他说。
Novokuybyshevsk市距离乌克兰控制的领土大约560英里。那里的炼油设施在2024年3月两次遭到无人机袭击。
萨马拉地区的行政长官证实了袭击的报道。
“今晚，敌人再次试图袭击我们的企业，”维亚切斯拉夫·费多里切夫写道，但没有具体说明袭击的目标。“不成功。”
“三架无人机在Novokuybyshevsk被消灭，”州长补充道。"没有火灾，也没有损坏，一切都像往常一样运作."
US 'just about' ready to lift Ukraine intel freeze, Trump says ahead of Saudi meet
LONDON --The U.S. is "just about" ready to lift itsfreeze on intelligence sharingwith Ukraine, President Donald Trump said Sunday, as American and Ukrainian negotiators prepare for bilateral talks in Saudi Arabia intended to move toward a peace deal to end Russia's three-year-old invasion.
"Well, we just about have," Trump told reporters on Air Force One when asked if he would consider resuming intelligence sharing. "We want to do anything we can to get Ukraine serious about getting something done," he added.
A U.S. official told ABC News on Monday evening that the U.S. is still not providing intelligence to Ukraine for offensive purposes, but continues to provide intelligence for defensive purposes.
Trump's administration has embarked on a dramatic pivot away from the "ironclad" backing of Ukraine practiced by formerPresident Joe Biden's administration.
Trump has falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war, tried to underminePresident Volodymyr Zelenskyy's legitimacy, sought to strong-arm Kyiv into a controversial minerals sharing deal and froze military aid and intelligence support in a bid to force Ukraine into making concessions to Russia.
Tuesday's talks in Jeddah are intended to revitalize bilateral relations following weeks of tense exchanges between Washington, D.C., and Kyiv, which culminated in an explosive Oval Office confrontation between Trump, Zelenskyy and Vice President JD Vance.
The U.S. delegation in Saudi Arabia will include Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz. The Ukrainian team will be led by Andriy Yermak, the head of Zelenskyy's presidential office. The U.S. side is expecting Ukraine to show willingness to make peace, Trump suggested on Sunday.
"We'll be looking at a lot of things," he said. "We have big meetings coming up. As you know, it's Saudi Arabia that's going to include Russia. It'll be Ukraine. We'll see if we can get something done."
"I think everybody wants to see it get done," the president added. "We're going to make a lot of progress."
"I think they will sign the minerals deal," Trump said when asked about progress on the controversial agreement. "I want them to want peace." Trump claimed that Ukraine has not yet shown that willingness.
Trump avoided answering whether he would place sanctions or tariffs on Russia and pointed to White House officials' upcoming meetings in Saudi Arabia. The president also avoided giving a definitive answer when asked if the U.S. would resume aid to Ukraine if the minerals deal is signed.
Zelenskyy will travel to Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet with the kingdom's crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman.
"Tomorrow, we will continue working to bring peace closer -- there will be my visit to Saudi Arabia," the Ukrainian president wrote on social media Sunday. "Also, today, the meeting of our teams -- Ukraine and the United States -- in Saudi Arabia has been further prepared. We hope for results -- both in bringing peace closer and in continuing support."
On Monday morning, Zelenskyy said in a post to Telegram, "Ukraine has been seeking peace since the very first second of the war and we have always said that the only reason the war continues is Russia."
A source close to Zelenskyy confirmed to ABC News that Ukraine will propose a partial ceasefire in its talks with the U.S. The partial ceasefire would apply to long-range air strikes and attacks at sea, the source said.
The timeframe for the truce remains unclear.
"We want to propose a partial ceasefire that can be monitored and then see how the Russians respond to determine the next steps," the source added.
Rubio told reporters on Monday he saw some promise in Ukraine's partial ceasefire proposal.
"I'm not saying that alone is enough, but it's the kind of concession you would need to see in order to end this conflict," he said ahead of meetings with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia.
Rubio said finalizing the mineral deal with Ukraine was "an important topic, but it's not the main topic on the agenda."
“It's certainly a deal the president wants to see done but it doesn't necessarily have to happen tomorrow," he said. "There's still more details to work out.”
The public U.S.-Ukraine break has prompted concern among European leaders, with leaders both rallying around Zelenskyy and urging him to repair his fraying relations with Trump. Officials in Russia appeared jubilant, openly suggesting that the Trump administration had aligned its views with the Kremlin's.
Trump and his top officials have said that both Ukraine and Russia will be expected to make concessions in pursuit of a peace deal to end Moscow's invasion, which itself is only the latest chapter in more than a decade of cross-border aggression.
Trump last week suggested in a post to Truth Social that he was "strongly considering large-scale sanctions" and tariffs on Russia until a deal is reached, adding that Moscow "is absolutely 'pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield right now." Trump also told a joint session of Congress he had received "strong signals" that Russia is ready to make peace.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said last week that the U.S.-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia are a "positive" development, though stressed there are unresolved "nuances."
"The question is who to negotiate with?" Peskov told reporters. Russia has repeatedly framed Zelenskyy as an illegitimate president, citing the delay to planned 2024 presidential elections in Ukraine necessitated by the imposition of martial law.
The Kremlin has also cited a September 2022 Ukrainian decree in which Zelenskyy declared negotiations with Putin "impossible," after Moscow claimed to have annexed four partially-occupied Ukrainian regions.
On Monday, Peskov told journalists that Russia's read on this week's meeting "is not important."
"What is important here is what the United States expects at various levels," he continued. "We have repeatedly heard statements that the U.S. expects the Ukrainians to demonstrate their desire for peace. That's probably what everybody is waiting for. Whether the members of the Zelenskyy regime really want peace or not. Of course, this is very important and it is necessary to decide."
Peskov also dismissed reports that U.S. and Russian officials would meet again in Saudi Arabia this week. "It is not true," he told reporters.
Meanwhile, both Russia and Ukraine are continuing their long-range missile and drone strike campaigns. Deadly weekend strikes by Russia prompted condemnation from several European nations.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, for example, wrote on X, "This is what happens when someone appeases barbarians. More bombs, more aggression, more victims."
Sunday night saw Russia launch 176 attack drones into Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian air force, of which 130 were shot down and 42 lost in flight without causing damage. The air force reported impacts in Kharkiv, Poltava and Kyiv regions.
Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down nine Ukrainian drones overnight.
Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Counter-Disinformation Center operating as part of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, said drones attacked the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery in Samara Oblast. Kovalenko said the refinery has an annual capacity of 8.8 million tons of oil, putting it among the country's ten largest refineries.
Kovalenko said the plant produces a wide range of petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and fuel oil, which are used by transport and military equipment. "For the Russian army, this refinery has strategic significance, as it ensures stable fuel supplies for military operations," he said.
The city of Novokuybyshevsk sits around 560 miles from Ukrainian-held territory. The refining facility there was attacked by drones twice in March 2024.
The governor of the Samara region confirmed reports of an attack.
"Tonight, the enemy made another attempt to attack our enterprises," wrote Vyacheslav Fedorishchev without specifying the target of the strike. "It was unsuccessful."
"Three drones were neutralized in Novokuybyshevsk," the governor added. "There were no fires or damages, everything is operating as usual."
