White House: US Administration Very Optimistic About Peace Talks In Ukraine


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was announced on Monday during a press briefing in Washington by Trump administration spokeswoman Caroline Levitt, according to Ukrinform's correspondent.

“I think the administration feels very optimistic,” Levitt said in response to a question about how close the negotiators are to a peace agreement in Ukraine.

She noted that the American team, including President Donald Trump, Vice President Jay D. Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth,“really want to see this war come to an end.” In this context, she mentioned the“good talks” with the Ukrainian delegation in Florida the day before.

“Now, of course, Special Envoy Witkoff is on his way to Russia. This is sort of the shuttle diplomacy that you've seen from this administration play out, where we speak equally with both sides,” Levitt said.

According to her, the points are set out on paper and carefully agreed upon.

“As for the details, I will let the negotiators negotiate, but we do feel quite good, and we're hopeful that this war can finally come to an end,” the White House spokeswoman concluded.
