Rubio Leads High-Stakes Ukraine Peace Talks, Coordinates with Kushner and Witkoff
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is actively engaged in high stakes diplomatic efforts aimed at brokering peace in Ukraine. This weekend, Rubio met with Ukrainian negotiators in Florida alongside Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss details of a proposed peace framework for ending Russia's war in Ukraine. The talks come at a critical moment as Ukraine continues defending against Russian forces that invaded in 2022.
The negotiations center on revisions to Trump's 28-point peace plan that was initially criticized for being too heavily weighted toward Russian demands. The original proposal had envisioned Ukraine ceding the entire eastern Donbas region to Russia, imposing limits on Ukraine's military size, blocking NATO membership, and requiring elections within 100 days. While negotiators indicate the framework has been modified, the exact changes remain unclear to the public.
Rubio had previously met with Ukrainian chief of staff Andrii Yermak in Geneva just a week before these Florida talks, with both sides describing those conversations as positive for developing a revised peace plan. However, Yermak's resignation was announced Friday following an anti-corruption investigation into his home, creating uncertainty in Ukraine's negotiating team. The Ukrainian delegation now includes the head of Ukraine's armed forces, the foreign minister, and the head of Ukraine's security council.
The diplomatic push represents a significant focus for Rubio in his role as Secretary of State. Trump indicated that Witkoff and possibly Kushner would travel to Moscow this week to present the peace framework to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, positioning Rubio's State Department as central to these negotiations. Both Witkoff and Kushner come from real estate backgrounds and previously worked on the 20-point proposal that helped achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
Meanwhile, attacks continue across Ukraine despite these peace efforts. Russia launched 122 strike drones and ballistic missiles against Ukraine on Sunday alone, killing one person and wounding 19 others including four children when a drone struck a nine-story apartment building in the Kyiv region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that this week alone Russia had used nearly 1,400 strike drones, 1,100 guided aerial bombs, and 66 missiles against Ukrainian people.
The situation remains fluid as Rubio coordinates with international partners to advance the peace framework. Zelenskyy stated in his Saturday address that the American side was demonstrating a constructive approach and expressed hope that coming days would clarify steps toward bringing the war to what he called a dignified end.
