Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner attended the meeting on behalf of the US side. According to officially unconfirmed reports from US media, the Shell Bay golf club was chosen as the venue for the meeting.
Rubio: Ukraine should "never have to go to war again"
Rubio emphasized on site that it was not just about ending a war. In videos of journalists present, which were distributed in US media and social networks, the US Secretary of State can be heard emphasizing Ukraine's economic potential. "Ukraine has tremendous opportunities for real prosperity."
However, this cannot be achieved by ending the war alone. "So it's not just about peace agreements." It is about creating a path that guarantees Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and prosperity. It should also be ensured that Ukraine never has to go to war again, said Rubio.
Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Since then, the country has been defending itself with the help of Western supporters. Despite the peace talks, Russia continues to attack Ukraine with undiminished ferocity.
Selensky hopes for rapid progress
On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he had sent a negotiating team to the USA for talks. In his evening video message broadcast in Kiev, he said that "it is quite realistic to finalize the steps in the next few days to determine how the war can be ended in a dignified manner". The necessary steps must be worked out quickly and substantially.
Selenskyj had a 28-point plan from US President Donald Trump, which critics had dubbed a Russian wish list, revised during negotiations in Geneva with European and American representatives. In the USA, there are still contentious points at issue. The revised plan is to be presented to the Russian leadership in Moscow in the coming days.
