Secretary of State Marco Rubio, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff are travelling to Saudi Arabia to start negotiations for peace between Russia and Ukraine. President Donald Trump recently spoke with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about starting negotiations to end the war. Senior Trump administration officials have been discussing the Russia-Ukraine war at the Munich Security Conference, where Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasized the need for Ukraine to be involved in any negotiations. Special envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg defended engaging with Putin to achieve peace and suggested that negotiations could focus on Russia ceding territory and targeting Putin’s oil revenue. However, some members of the administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have been less specific about potential concessions from Russia. President Trump indicated that it is too early to outline specific demands for Russia in negotiations. Hegseth suggested that returning Ukraine to its pre-2014 borders may be unrealistic, indicating a potential willingness to support negotiations where Ukraine cedes seized territory. The trip to Saudi Arabia by Rubio, Waltz, and Witkoff is an important step towards peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, reflecting ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to resolve the conflict.
