Rubio to meet with Russian officials to discuss Ukraine peace negotiations

A team of President Trump's advisers are expected to meet with Russian officials next week to begin peace negotiations over the war in Ukraine, two U.S. government officials familiar with the details told CBS News Saturday.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, national security adviser Mike Waltz and Mr. Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will head to Saudi Arabia for the meeting, the official said. The news comes after Mr. Trump disclosed that he held separate phone calls last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

It's unclear if Ukrainian officials will be at the table in Saudi Arabia next week.
