#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukrainian delegates concluded their meeting with U.S. officials in Florida on Nov. 30 as both parties continued negotiations on the Washington-backed peace plan aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
A Ukrainian delegation led by National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, at Witkoff’s private gold club in Hallandale Beach, north of Miami.
In a press briefing following the meeting, Rubio called the meeting “very productive,” adding that the talks focused on both the terms to end the war as well as Ukraine’s “long-term prosperity.”
“I thought we started laying the groundwork in Geneva. I think we continued that work in our communications throughout the week. I think we’ve built on that today, but there’s more work to be done,” Rubio told reporters.
“This is delicate, it’s complicated, there are a lot of moving parts, and, obviously, there’s another party involved here,” Rubio added, referring to Russia.
Umerov echoed Rubio’s comments, telling reporters that the talks were “productive and successful.”
“We discussed all the matters that are important for Ukraine. And the U.S. was super supportive,” Umerov added.
Neither delegation immediately provided specific details on the outcomes of the negotiations.
