U.S. and Ukrainian officials completed roughly four hours of talks Sunday aimed at finding an endgame to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Sunday's session — which included special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Trump, and Ukrainian delegates — as "productive and useful," but talks will continue this week in Moscow with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. "We don't just want to end the war. We also want to help Ukraine be safe forever.
Main Idea: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. and Ukraine still have more work to do after several hours of talks on a possible path to end the war with Russia.
Key Points:
A drawn-out peace process can keep war-related energy and food costs unstable for US households and businesses.
A deal that lowers fighting could reduce future aid costs for taxpayers and support steadier markets.
