Ukraine, US Push for Peace Amid Russia's Territorial Claims

Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators urge Russia to commit to lasting peace following failed Moscow talks. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Rustem Umerov made a joint appeal after discussions in Florida, emphasizing Russias role in de-escalation. Despite no compromise on the U.S. peace plan in Moscow, Putin is open to further meetings. Ukrainian officials and European allies question Russias commitment, with disagreements persisting over post-war security guarantees and territorial concessions. Russia occupies about one-fifth of Ukraines territory, and Putin warned of forceful liberation if Ukrainian troops do not withdraw. Negotiations continue, with Ukraine and allies seeking NATO membership or security guarantees, a stance Russia strongly opposes. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
