At the beginning of the talks, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the process of finding a formula to end the Russian-Ukrainian war had progressed significantly.
“The process of finding a formula to end the Russian-Ukrainian war has advanced much further than ever before,” said Marco Rubio.
According to him, the parties have already gone “halfway” towards a model that will allow Ukraine to maintain its sovereignty and independence after the cessation of hostilities.
“We are already halfway to a model that will allow Ukraine to maintain its sovereignty and independence,” said Marco Rubio.
Rubio also noted that the current round of negotiations builds on previous contacts and meetings that took place, in particular, in Geneva on November 23.
First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Serhiy Kyslytsia called the beginning of the meeting constructive.
“This was a good start to the current meeting. Very exciting and constructive so far. A warm atmosphere conducive to a potential progressive outcome. Excellent leadership from Marco Rubio,” said Serhiy Kyslytsia.
Donald Trump’s special representative, Steve Witkoff, said he was positive about the talks. He also confirmed that he plans to fly to Moscow the next day to meet with Vladimir Putin.
Let us recall that a meeting between the Ukrainian delegation and the American side on achieving a dignified peace has begun in the United States .
The day before, a Ukrainian delegation left for the United States of America to hold key negotiations on protecting national interests and accelerating the end of the war. The Foreign Ministry stated that the mission has clear directives and a decisive diplomatic nature.
Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved the updated composition of the Ukrainian delegation, which will participate in negotiations with the United States, other international partners, and representatives of the Russian Federation on achieving a just and sustainable peace.
It is worth adding that the updated version of the American “peace plan” for Ukraine, reduced from 28 to 19 points, is being kept secret to avoid new leaks in the media.
