"We have clear directives and priorities: safeguarding Ukrainian interests, ensuring substantive dialogue, and advancing on the basis of the progress achieved in Geneva, Umerov wrote on X. He added negotiators want to secure real peace for Ukraine and reliable, long-term security guarantees."
"This is about ending a war in a way that creates a mechanism for a way forward that will allow them [Ukraine] to be independent and sovereign and never have another war again, and create tremendous prosperity for its people not just rebuild the country but to enter an era of extraordinary economic progress, said Rubio."
Ukrainian and US delegations met in Florida to advance a US-backed peace plan and develop reliable security guarantees for Ukraine. Rustem Umerov led the Ukrainian team and outlined directives prioritizing Ukrainian interests, substantive dialogue, and progress built on Geneva meetings. The talks prepare for US special envoy Steve Witkoff’s planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and involved US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner. Russian attention centers on the Donbas and Crimea, and President Putin indicated the unpublished US draft could serve as a basis for future agreements. Negotiators aim to secure lasting peace and long-term guarantees.
