US and Russian officials met in Saudi Arabia for about 12 hours a day after American and Ukrainian teams held talks, as President Donald Trump pushes for progress in achieving a ceasefire in the war.

The two sides were expected to release a statement on Tuesday, Russia’s Tass news service reported. The talks were led on the Russian side by former Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin and Sergei Beseda, an adviser to the head of the Federal Security Service in Moscow, the agency said.
