The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff will meet with Ukrainian negotiators in Florida on Sunday for talks on Washington’s plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine, a US official said. Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced earlier on Saturday that a delegation was en route to the US for this purpose. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will also attend the meeting. “Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and head of the Ukrainian delegation Rustem Umerov, together with the team, is already on the way to the United States,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X. The meeting will take place without Zelensky’s top aide Andriy Yermak, who resigned on Friday after anti-corruption agencies conducted searches at his apartment. Russian officials said earlier that Witkoff planned to travel to Moscow next week, echoing Trump’s words that he would send his envoy to Russia to meet with Putin to discuss a “fine-tuned” peace plan.
