BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 29. US President
Donald Trump announced the creation of an American working group on
Ukraine that will engage with Russia, Trend reports.
The announcement was made at a press conference following
Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at
Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
“The task force will be made up of Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner,
General Dan Kaine, Marco Rubio, and a few other people we’ll
include. I think Pete Hegseth should be on that group as well. He
knows the area very well and is doing a great job. We might add one
or two more people. Ukraine will also have some very good people
who were at lunch today,” Trump said.
Zelenskyy, in turn, stated that the Ukrainian working group on
the settlement would include Secretary of the National Security and
Defense Council Rustem Umerov, Chief of the General Staff of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine Andriy Gnatov, and First Deputy Minister of
Foreign Affairs Serhiy Kyslytsya.
