Rubio and Witkoff are meeting with Ukraine’s negotiators in Florida as Trump pushes to broker a deal
The talks aim to finalize a U.S.-backed peace plan amid political strain on Ukraine and ongoing conflict, with new leadership on the Ukrainian side and optimism from U.S. officials.
- On Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner met a Ukrainian delegation led by Rustem Umerov in Hallandale Beach, Florida to advance a US-backed plan to end Russia's war.
- After Geneva talks last weekend, US and Ukrainian teams met following revisions to the US original 28-point draft, amid Kyiv's political fallout from a $100 million energy sector scandal and Andriy Yermak's resignation.
- Negotiators opened with public statements stressing Ukraine's future, with Rubio saying, `This is not just about peace deals. It's about creating a pathway forward that leaves Ukraine sovereign, independent and prosperous`, and Umerov emphasizing security, prosperity, and rebuilding.
- Umerov said the talks were productive and that the delegation will report to President Zelenskyy, while Steve Witkoff is expected to travel to Moscow next week to press the US proposal.
- Amid sustained Russian attacks that used nearly 1,400 drones last week, Russia's military campaign killed six people and cut power for 400,000 households, while the refined 19-point plan leaves key disputes unresolved.
