00:00Productive and constructive. That's how U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff is describing weekend talks

00:08involving the Trump administration, Ukrainian leaders, and European officials.

00:12The meetings were held in Florida. President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner was part of

00:17the delegation. Witkoff said Russia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine.

00:22But the Kremlin foreign policy aide who attended pushed back, saying Ukrainian and European input

00:28did not improve the chances of a deal. Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022 and the four-year

00:35mark of the war is now approaching. The Trump administration has already unveiled a 20-point

00:39plan aimed at ending the war. Witkoff says the weekend meetings in Miami, including talks with

00:45Russian officials on Saturday, narrowed in on just a few areas, including security guarantees for

00:51Ukraine and expanding plans to help rebuild the country's economy. On Friday, Secretary of State

00:56Marco Rubio said the goal is not to impose America's will, but to determine what both sides need

01:02and what they're willing to give to reach a peace agreement.
