Marco Rubio says "need for security guarantees" in postwar Ukraine talks

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that talks on postwar safeguards for Ukraine and Europe had made some headway, and he suggested this week’s US-assisted negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi could produce more. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will represent Washington at the Tuesday and Wednesday meetings; Rubio spoke before traveling to Paris for a G7 foreign ministers’ gathering. Separately, President Donald Trump told CBS he expected the war to end soon and said Ukraine could have different borders after a settlement, adding that he did not believe Vladimir Putin was stringing him along. The discussions matter because Washington is seeking to shape postwar security arrangements for Ukraine and the wider region.
