US-Ukraine Talks in Florida Show Progress; Russia Urged to Commit to Peace
Hallandale Beach, Florida (December 6, 2025) – U.S. and Ukrainian officials wrapped up a series of talks in Florida on Friday, reporting progress in developing a security framework for a post-war Ukraine. The discussions, involving U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, alongside Ukrainian representatives, followed earlier meetings between U.S. envoys and President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
A joint statement indicated that further progress hinges on Russia demonstrating a genuine commitment to a lasting peace, including de-escalation measures and an end to hostilities. The officials also explored a “prosperity agenda” focused on supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction and fostering joint U.S.-Ukraine economic initiatives.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed a desire for his delegation to understand the details of the talks that took place in the Kremlin with Putin. Meanwhile, Kremlin foreign affairs advisor Yuri Ushakov praised Kushner’s potential to facilitate a settlement, a sentiment viewed by some as an attempt to sow discord between the U.S., Ukraine, and Europe.
President Trump’s mounting impatience with the conflict adds pressure to find a resolution. French President Emmanuel Macron has sought support from Chinese President Xi Jinping to the issue, and emphasizes US and European unity on the matter, warning that European allies want firm security guarantees in any peace deal.
The diplomatic efforts occur against a backdrop of ongoing conflict. Recent reports detail a deadly Russian drone strike that killed a 12-year-old boy in central Ukraine. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drones are reported to have struck targets within Russia, including a sea port and an oil refinery, in an attempt to disrupt Russian logistics.
