US totally abandoning Ukraine after corruption storm, Zelensky aide's resignation? Trump admin says…

The White House says it is “very optimistic” about the prospects of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal after fresh talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Florida. Special envoy Steve Witkoff is set to return to Moscow for another round of discussions with President Vladimir Putin as Washington intensifies its shuttle diplomacy. Despite optimism, major hurdles remain: Moscow continues attacks, Yermak’s resignation disrupts Kyiv’s negotiating team, and Trump’s revised peace plan still faces criticism for favoring Russia. With both sides under U.S. pressure to end the war, diplomats are racing to bridge red lines nearly four years into the conflict.
