Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Sunday's meeting with a Ukrainian delegation on ending Russia's war with Ukraine as "productive" while acknowledging "there's more work to be done."

"We continue to be realistic about how difficult this is, but optimistic," Rubio said.

"We don't just want to end the war. We also want to help Ukraine be safe forever, so never again will they face another invasion," Rubio said after the meeting with special envoy Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and the Ukrainian delegation concluded in Florida. Rubio emerged with Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council. They took no questions.

"This is comprehensive. What we're working on here today. It's not just about the terms that ends fighting. It's about also the terms that set up Ukraine for long term prosperity," Rubio added. "But there's more work to be done. This is delicate. It's complicated."
