American and Ukrainian officials met in Florida on Sunday, November 30, 2025, to discuss a US-backed peace plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine and creating security guarantees for the country. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the talks, which included US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as "productive" but "complicated." The Ukrainian delegation was led by Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council. The meeting precedes Witkoff's planned visit to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The US has been in contact with Russia to understand their views, as they are a key party in the conflict. The discussions follow a previous meeting in Geneva to revise the peace plan.
