AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In December 2025, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that progress has been made in US-led efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, but significant obstacles remain. Rubio emphasized that the US is facilitating negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to find a mutually acceptable agreement. Ukrainian negotiators, led by Rustem Umerov, met with US officials in Washington, DC, agreeing to continue joint work and informing President Zelenskyy of the outcome. Umerov stressed the importance of long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, with involvement from European partners. President Trump has prioritized ending the conflict since returning to office, but negotiations are complicated by conflicting demands from both Moscow and Kyiv.
