US–Ukraine in high-stakes talks as Trump envoy heads to Moscow amid pressure for Russia-war endgame
Tensions and diplomacy are colliding as the U.S. and Ukraine complete four hours of high-stakes talks aimed at shaping an endgame to the Russia–Ukraine war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the discussions were “productive” but emphasized that major work remains, especially as Washington attempts to balance peace terms with long-term stability for Ukraine.
The urgency escalates as President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, prepares to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow within days. With Ukraine facing internal pressure from a major corruption scandal and concerns about whether a U.S.-proposed plan leans too far toward Russian demands, the negotiations carry enormous weight. Rubio, Witkoff, and Jared Kushner met with Ukraine’s team to reassure Kyiv and push toward a deal Trump says has a “good chance” of happening.
