As top American officials prepare a meeting with a Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, the question is how the Trump administration would push Moscow to expand the initial ceasefire.
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to temporarily prevent Ukraine’s energy infrastructure this week, including Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Station.
State Secretary Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, which will travel to Jeddah for both talks, said the next step would have to secure a ceasefire over the Black Sea.

Moscow earlier agreed to a similar deal broke into a similar deal by Turkey and the United Nations in 2022, known as Black C Grain Initiative, which attempted to secure Ukrainian exports of agricultural products to control global prices, but Putin excluded from the agreement in 2023.
Security experts are unrelated to that Putin may be trusted at this time.
But another issue is that apparently will be on the table of interaction in the Middle East – Ukraine’s atomic power.
As the President’s focus on a mineral deal with Ukraine, he has turned his interest into a new commercial enterprise, the “electrical supply and” ownership “of the US’s” electrical supply and nuclear power plants “.
“American ownership of those plants will be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure in a joint statement issued by Rubio and Waltz on Wednesday after Ukrainian phone calls from Ukrainian, Ukrainian President Volodimare Zelanski.

Asked by Fox News Digital, how Putin, who has clarified his interest in the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, replied to Trump’s new ambitions, Rebka Coffal, a former DIA intelligence officer and the author of “Putin’s Playbook”, he said that he would not think it will end well.
“Putin is almost certainly not in favor of this idea and would try to vandalize such a deal,” said the Cofter who informed the NATO officials of Putin’s ambitions in Ukraine before the 2022 invasion. “In addition, zelenskyy is unlikely to sign such a deal.
“Zelancesi will probably agree to control the control of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant for the US, which is currently under Russian control. Russia will voluntarily not leave control of Zaporizhajia. If someone tries to take it with force, they will fight to the bitter end.”

It is not clear when Trump’s interest in achieving Ukraine’s energy infrastructure began, although it seems to tie in his previous claims that Ukraine would be better preserved if it would have to work within the boundaries of American workers and businesses.
The debate has been debated on the basis of this argument as there were American companies working in Ukraine during Russia’s invasion. The debate contributed to an oval office blowup between Trump and Zelanski last month.
Kofler stated that Putin may see the American acquisition of four nuclear power plants of Kiev as “backdoor they” to expand some safety guarantee for Ukraine and “is a clever way of controlling the nuclear capacity of Ukraine, which the Russians believe that it can be militant.”

“This will be seen as a threat to Russia,” said Kofler.
Asked that Ukraine’s energy infrastructure could affect the US -owned negotiations, CIA Moscow station former chief Dan Hoffman told Fox News Digital that he would not be confident that it would have a great impact on really achieving peace.
Hoffman said, “Show me the deal. We have no deal yet. We have a ceasefire that has broken on the energy infrastructure.” He said that even after Putin agreed to prevent Ukraine’s infrastructure from attacking on Tuesday, a drone strike hit a railway power system in the Dnipropetrovsk area the next morning, causing civil power outage.

“This is just another discussion point. There are many other issues that are of much more important. What Putin probably will do for his conversation strategy, says,” Oh, yes, I will let you do it that the United States, but I want it in turn. “
Hofman said, “He wants Ukraine. He wants to demolish the government. This is his purpose.” “Whatever deal he makes, he agrees in the short term, what he really wants to do is Ukraine’s ability to stop Russia in future and destroy Russia’s ability to give maximum profit.
“Right now, he can get through conversation what he cannot achieve in the battlefield.”
While several issues will be discussed, the former head of the CIA Moscow station said that the real key Putin would need to be an authentic indication from the real key Putin to fulfill any kind of ceasefire that he really wants the war to end.
In the context of the director of the CIA, Hoffman said, “The big question that responds to John Ratcliffe explains to me why Putin wants a ceasefire. I will argue that he does not.” “The zero indication that he wants one.

Hoffman argued, “If he wanted to stop the war and wanted to stop the killing of his own people and stopped falling so much blood and treasure, he would have stopped it,” Hoffman argued.
Finally, Hoffman said, “Given how the biggest wars have concluded, history suggests that the war in Ukraine can only end on the battlefield.”
Hoffman said, “One side loses, wins one side, or both sides no longer have a means of fighting.” “War ends in this way.”
