Rubio and Witkoff meet with Ukraine negotiators in Florida

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are meeting with Ukrainian negotiators in Florida this weekend.

The meeting is intended to mark an effort to broker an end to Russia's war in Ukraine and prepare the ground for key talks planned this week in Moscow with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Just a week ago, Rubio met in Geneva with Ukraine's chief of staff Andrii Yermak, who resigned a few days ago, where each side said the talks had been positive in drafting a revised peace plan.

Now, the Ukrainian delegation includes Andrii Hnatov, the head of Ukraine's armed forces; Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine's foreign minister; and Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine's security council.

Diplomats are focused on revisions to Trump's proposed 28-point plan, developed in negotiations between Washington and Moscow./CNA
