Trump: It is "very likely" that an agreement will be reached at the US-Ukraine talks

US President Trump said that after the latest round of US-Ukraine talks held in Florida, it is "very likely" to reach a Russia-Ukraine agreement, but he warned that the corruption scandal Mired in Kyiv is not conducive to the conclusion of the agreement.

AFP reported that Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday (November 30) : "Ukraine does face some tricky minor problems..." But I think it's very likely that we will reach an agreement.

Ukraine's chief of staff and chief negotiator, Yermak, has decided to resign after being investigated for corruption. He was originally supposed to attend the US-Ukraine talks, but with his departure, the delegation was led by Umerov, the secretary of Ukraine's National Security Council, to the United States.

In addition, both the US and Ukraine praised the talks as "productive", but they also simultaneously warned that this high-risk negotiation is far from over.

Us Secretary of State Rubio said, "We have held another very productive meeting, building on the Geneva talks and the activities of this week." But there is still more work to be done. This is very subtle and very complicated.

He also said, "There are many links involved. Clearly, there is another party involved. (US Special envoy) Witkov will travel to Moscow this week and the relevant work will continue."

Umerov led a delegation to attend, whose members included the Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Khnatov, and the presidential advisor, Bevz.

Umerov said that the Florida talks were "productive and successful".

However, a source from the Ukrainian delegation described it as "not an easy process as the work of seeking solutions and solutions is still ongoing."

Another person familiar with the matter said that the US side "does indeed hope to reach an agreement on the final terms before the Moscow talks."

He said, "The wording is very complicated, especially on territorial issues, as they position themselves as mediators rather than the side supporting Ukraine."

This meeting was held after the Geneva talks, at a time when Kyiv is facing increasing military and political pressure, as well as the aftermath of domestic corruption scandals.

The 28-point plan initially proposed by the United States did not seek the opinions of Ukraine's European Allies. The plan demanded that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the eastern Donetsk region, and the United States would subsequently de facto recognize the Donetsk, Crimea and Luhansk regions as Russian territory.

After criticism from Kiev and Europe, the United States made cuts to the initial draft, but the specific content remains unclear at present.

After the Florida talks, French President Emmanuel Macron will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris on Monday (December 1st).

Despite concerns from Allies over the US plan for Ukraine, Rubio will still be absent from the NATO foreign ministers' meeting to be held in Brussels on Wednesday (the 3rd) and Thursday (the 4th).

An American official said that Witkov will travel to Moscow on Monday (December 1st) and is expected to hold talks with Russian President Putin on Tuesday (2nd).
