US envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News on Tuesday that talks with Russia on the Ukraine war will take place on Sunday in Jeddah.
"The devil is in the details. We've got a team going to Saudi Arabia, led by our national security adviser and our secretary of state, and I think, you know, we've got to figure out those details," Witkoff told Fox News' "Hannity" show on Tuesday, referring to top US diplomat Marco Rubio and White House national security adviser Mike Waltz.
The Kremlin did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment, outside business hours, on Witkoff's remarks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Tuesday to stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities temporarily but declined to endorse a full 30-day ceasefire that President Donald Trump hoped would be the first step toward a permanent peace deal.
