    Top officials from the United States and Ukraine met in Florida on Sunday to discuss the framework of a possible peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and former adviser, met in Miami with Ukraine's delegation led by Rustem Umerov, the head of head of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council.

    "The end goal, obviously, is not just the end of the war, obviously-that's central and fundamental. We want to see an end of the killing and the death and the suffering, and I'm sure the Ukrainian side, I know they do, as well," said Rubio in remarks before the meeting. "But it's also about securing an end to the war that leaves Ukraine sovereign and independent and with an opportunity at real prosperity."

    Umerov thanked Trump's negotiation team for their support in brief remarks after Rubio's.

    "We are discussing about the future of Ukraine, about the security of Ukraine, about no repetition of aggression of Ukraine, about prosperity of Ukraine, about how to rebuild Ukraine. And we are thankful for the efforts of United States and its team to helping us. U.S. is hearing us, U.S. is supporting us, U.S. is beside us," said Umerov.

    The delegations met as the two sides and Russia continue to hammer out revisions to Trump's original 28-point framework for peace in Ukraine. The starting offer proposed by the United States reportedly received stiff objections from Ukrainian officials over a cap to Ukraine's military, ceding territory not under Russia's direct control, and other issues.

    "The American side is demonstrating a constructive approach, and in the coming days it is feasible to flesh out the steps to determine how to bring the war to a dignified end," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. "The Ukrainian delegation has the necessary directives, and I expect the guys to work in accordance with clear Ukrainian priorities."

    Substantial revisions have since been made to initial peace plan, though the specifics have been guarded from the public. Ukraine has sought security guarantees and rejected suggestions of ceding additional land to Russia. Russia has insisted that Ukraine abandon "occupied territories."


    Last week, Yuri Ushakov, a top aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said that the Kremlin had received the latest version of the peace framework but declined to offer an opinion on it.

    "This isn't an official one, but we do have the document. We haven't discussed it with anyone yet because the points in it require truly serious analysis and discussion," said Ushakov, according to CNN.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
