According to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity about the awaited meeting, the Ukrainian delegation is ready during the talks to sign an agreement with the United States on access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals.

If Ukraine and the US reach an understanding acceptable to Trump, that could accelerate his administration's push to peace talks.

“What we want to know is, are they interested entering some sort of peace conversation and general outlines of the kinds of things they could consider, recognising that it has been a costly and bloody war for the Ukrainians. They have suffered greatly and their people have suffered greatly,” Rubio said.

“And it's hard in the aftermath of something like that to even talk about concessions, but that's the only way this is going to end and prevent more suffering.”

He added: “I'm not going to set any conditions on what they have to or need to do. I think we want to listen to see how far they're willing to go and then compare that to what the Russians want and see how far apart we truly are.”
