We now have to compare that to what the Ukrainians and our European allies, but the Ukrainians primarily, of course, are willing to accept," he to The Hill, Witkoff has been gathering information from ongoing talks in Moscow, even as the Kremlin continues its offensive on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.'I think for the first time, perhaps since this administration began, we have some concrete examples of the kinds of things that Russia would ask for in order to end the war. We haven't had much of that to this point," Rubio said, as reported by The President Donald Trump on Wednesday said 'great progress" was made during a meeting between his Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in an effort to to reach a peace deal with Ukraine.'My Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, just had a highly productive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Rubio says Witkoff returning with Russia-Ukraine ceasefire proposal
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff will return from Moscow with a framework for peace between Russia and Ukraine. 'The specific timing of it is not discussed,' Rubio told Larry Kudlow during an appearance on Fox Business Channel. 'I think what we have is a better understanding of the conditions under which Russia would be prepared to end the war. We now have to compare that to what the Ukrainians and our European allies, but the Ukrainians primarily, of course, are willing to accept,' he added. Witkoff has been gleaning information from talks in Russia as the Kremlin advances strikes on Kyiv and surrounding cities in its war with Ukraine. In the past, Russian President Vladimir Putin has pushed to obtain Crimea and additional land before removing soldiers from the frontlines. Rubio did not outline the conditions gathered by Witkoff during his Wednesday meeting with leaders in Moscow but underscored the importance of an agreement fair to both countries. 'I think for the first time, perhaps since this administration began, we have some concrete examples of the kinds of things that Russia would ask for in order to end the war. We haven't had much of that to this point,' Rubio said. 'Obviously, the Ukrainians have a say in this. We got to – we got to bring the two sides and the two positions close enough so that the ultimate closer, President Trump, can get involved and make it happen,' he added. Trump signaled that he could soon hold direct in-person talks with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to achieve the administration's goal of ending the conflict.

Musk blames Ukraine for X outage
'We're not sure exactly what happened, but there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area,' Musk said in an interview with Fox Business Channel host Larry Kudlow. Earlier in the afternoon, Musk confirmed a 'massive cyberattack' targeted X on Monday, prompting outages for thousands of users throughout the day. 'We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved. Tracing…' Musk wrote on X. Musk's mention of Ukraine in relation to Monday's attack comes amid heightened tensions recently with the Eastern European country. President Trump has ramped up criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in recent weeks. Trump paused U.S. aid to Ukraine and has suggested Kyiv is more of an obstacle to peace than Russia amid the countries' more than three-year war. Musk, for his part, has echoed Trump's sentiment, criticizing Zelensky in various posts and replies on X.
