Trump officials try to reassure Ukraine's negotiators over peace deal ahead of Putin meeting this week

Two of Donald Trump’s allies met Sunday with top Ukrainian officials in Florida as the Trump administration seeks to convince Ukraine’s government to accept a peace plan many saw as clearly tilted towards Russia’s war demands.

A delegation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s advisers and top officials met with lead U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Miami on Sunday ahead of a trip to meet with Russian leaders, including Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday.

On the agenda is the 28-point peace plan proposed by the U.S. this month, which has drawn apparent skepticism from both Ukraine and its European allies, given reports that it drew heavily from a Russian-authored plan submitted to the State Department in October.

Donald Trump himself, when asked, could not name a serious concession Moscow was being asked to make under the latest proposal. Under the original 28-point plan his team laid out, Ukraine would cede some territory in the east to Russia and have its military size capped in the future. Kyiv would also be forced to agree not to join NATO.
