Rubio and Witkoff are meeting with Ukraine's negotiators in Florida as Trump pushes to broker a deal
Top Trump administration officials are meeting Ukrainian negotiators in Florida this weekend, pushing to broker an end to Russia's war in Ukraine and setting the stage for key talks planned this week in Moscow with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities searched the apartment of Andriy Yermak, the influential top aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as the country is reeling from a major graft scandal and coming under pressure in US-led peace talks.
The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.
"We need to sit down and discuss this seriously," Putin told reporters at the end of a three-day visit to Kyrgyzstan. He described U.S. President Donald Trump's 28-point peace plan as "a set of issues put forward for discussion" rather than a draft agreement.
The president is optimistic that he can finally achieve one of his 2024 campaign goals, but the thorniest issues have yet to be resolved.
