Trump expressed confidence, hinting at a possible meeting with Putin before the month's end. Russia, in turn, demanded NATO retract its 2008 pledge on Ukraine's membership. While Ukraine rejects any deal made without its consent, Senator Rubio insists that "no one will be sidelined." High-level teams from both sides are set to continue negotiations.
