In a major diplomatic move, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the formation of a new American working group on Ukraine that will coordinate directly with Russia. The decision was revealed during a press conference following Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The U.S. task force will include figures such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, General Dan Kaine, and Senator Marco Rubio, with additional members expected. Ukraine will form its own counterpart group featuring senior national security and defense officials. The initiative aims to advance negotiations and explore pathways toward resolving the ongoing conflict.
00:00In the readout from Moscow, they talked about the creation of some working groups that would be set.
00:06Can you tell us about what those working groups would entail?
00:09And also, if you wouldn't mind, what is the message that you will give to Putin when you speak to him after your meeting?
00:16So the working group is going to be composed of Steve, Steve Woodcoff, Jared Kushner, General Raisin Cain,
00:24Marco Rubio, and a few other people that we're going to be putting on to it.
00:30I think Pete Hegseth should be in that working group.
00:34He knows the territory very well.
00:36He's been fantastic at what he's doing.
00:38And they may add one or two people.
00:40And likewise, Ukraine's going to have some very good people that were at lunch today that enjoyed the lunch today a lot, more than they thought, right?
00:48But do you want to say who may be on your working group?
00:50Yeah, we are now, as I said, that we work with Steve and Jared.
00:56We worked and worked our Rousseau Momerov and also Deputy Minister Gislitz and also General Gnatov.
01:05And they will continue work in this group.
01:10And, of course, if we will go further, and I hope that really we will have decisions in January, as I said, about all these documents, six documents.
01:18And, of course, we will continue work on this so they know what to do.
01:23And that working group, by the way, importantly, will also then be working with Russia.
01:30Okay?
01:30Because to work with ourselves doesn't really solve much of a problem.
01:35So they'll be working with Russia.
01:36In the readout from Moscow, they talked about the creation of some working groups that would be set.
01:43Can you tell us about what those working groups would entail?
