Peace negotiations between Ukraine and the U.S. advance in Florida after Andriy Yermak's resignation, with Rustem Umerov now leading Ukraine's diplomatic team.
The team of Ukrainian negotiators began meeting Sunday morning with Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law.
Around 36 missiles and nearly 600 drones were launched on targets across Ukraine overnight, officials said, killing three and injuring dozens of others. Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure as the embattled nation heads into winter, despite US-led efforts to secure a peace deal.
Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, will travel to Moscow on Monday as Ukraine-Russia peace talks show signs of progress.
Zelensky didn't reveal much detail about an updated plan, although he said there needed to be more investment for drones.
Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared last week to be cautiously optimistic on the U.S. 28-point peace plan to end his invasion of Ukraine.
The attack came as U.S. officials were expected to hold peace talks with Ukrainian and Russian officials in the coming days.
