Witkoff, the man whom Washington has sent to negotiate with Putin this week, is viewed with suspicion by Kyiv and its allies after a leaked phone call suggested he was advising Moscow on how to deal with Trump, according to a transcript published by Bloomberg News.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s push for a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine is intensifying. Officials from the U.S., Ukraine and Russia have crisscrossed the globe in recent weeks in a flurry of meetings aimed at negotiating a deal.

Ahead of the key meeting, Russia has claimed fresh military victories, hammering home that point that it can succeed in the war without negotiations if it wants.

A source with direct knowledge of the Florida talks tells CNN the intensive negotiations were a “step forward” and “built on progress in Geneva.”

Vladimir Putin struck a defiant tone earlier on Tuesday when he warned Russia was "ready right now" if Europe wanted a war.

Early Ukrainian military recruitment ads were a call to arms in an existential fight. Now, they frame joining as cool, a good career move or a point of pride.

First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, reveals the impact Russia’s invasion is having on Ukraine’s children and their education.

The team of Ukrainian negotiators began meeting Sunday morning with Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law.
