U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha discussed efforts for a diplomatic resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war. According to the State Department, Rubio emphasized the importance of bold diplomacy to achieve a negotiated settlement and lasting peace. He also reaffirmed U.S. support for Ukraine's independence.

Trump stated that Ukraine's NATO membership is impractical and expressed doubts about Ukraine reclaiming all occupied territories.
