BBC Sounds Music Radio Podcasts hello,
it's 1,112 days
since Russia began its full scale invasion of Ukraine and Vitaly
and I are recording just after 7pm UK time on Tuesday.
Talks between US and Ukrainian officials in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia have just concluded
and in the last 60 minutes the US State Department released this statement,
the United States and Ukraine took important steps towards restoring durable peace for Ukraine.
Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the US proposal to enact an immediate interim 30 day ceasefire which can be extended
by mutual agreement of the parties
and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by the Russian Federation.
