Rubio suggests Russia, Ukraine not ready for Trump meeting
Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Wednesday that Russia and Ukraine are not ready for a meeting with President Trump as the war between the two countries rages on. 'I think what we have is a better understanding of the conditions under which Russia would be prepared to end the war,' Rubio told Fox Business Network's Larry Kudlow on his show. 'We now have to compare that to what the Ukrainians and our European allies, but the Ukrainians primarily, of course, are willing to accept and what you try to see is, how far can you get these two positions closer? How can you get these two positions closer to each other?' 'If we can get what the Ukrainians will accept and what the Russians will accept close enough, then I think there's the opportunity for the president to have a meeting that includes both Putin and Zelensky to try to close this thing out,' he added. 'So, we've got to get closer in that regard.' Trump has recently weighed a meeting in upcoming weeks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky amid an effort to end the war between the two countries. The president brought up the idea of meeting with the two leaders in a Wednesday call with European leaders, a source confirmed to The Hill. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also said Russia had shown interest in a Trump meeting. 'As President Trump said earlier today on TRUTH Social, great progress was made during Special Envoy Witkoff's meeting with President Putin,' Leavitt said in a statement. 'The Russians expressed their desire to meet with President Trump, and the President is open to meeting with both President Putin and President Zelensky. President Trump wants this brutal war to end,' she added.

Zelensky says Russia seems ‘more inclined toward a ceasefire'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday said he believed Russia was more likely to agree to a ceasefire than previously, and argued pressure from the U.S. is a key reason. Zelensky spoke amid reports that President Trump had discussed with European officials a meeting with Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming weeks. 'Russia now seems to be more inclined toward a ceasefire – the pressure is working. But the key is to ensure they don't deceive anyone in the details – neither us, nor the United States,' Zelensky said during an address. 'We have proposed that in the near future, our representatives – from Ukraine and our partners, our national security advisors – hold talks to determine our position, our common position, and our shared vision,' he added. President Trump and Republican lawmakers have repeatedly threatened economic sanctions for the Kremlin if an agreement is not soon reached. On Wednesday, Trump's team said Russia was interested in talking to the president. 'The Russians expressed their desire to meet with President Trump, and the President is open to meeting with both President Putin and President Zelensky. President Trump wants this brutal war to end,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. Putin has urged Ukraine to cede portions of its territory now under Russian control. Zelensky has rejected efforts to redefine Ukraine's sovereign borders. The Ukrainian president said he spoke with Trump following Special Envoy Steve Witkoff's meetings with officials in Moscow. 'Our joint position with our partners is absolutely clear – the war must end,' Zelensky wrote in a Wednesday post on X. 'And it must be done honestly. European leaders were on the call, and I am grateful to each of them for their support. We discussed what was spelled out in Moscow.'
