Top negotiators for President Trump plan to meet with Ukrainian officials in Florida on Sunday to discuss a possible peace settlement to halt Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a senior U.S. official.

The American negotiators who plan to attend the talks are Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Steve Witkoff, a special envoy for the president; and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and a businessman who does some international diplomacy for Mr. Trump.

The meeting follows a round of talks between those officials and Ukrainian negotiators last weekend in Geneva. In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky is grappling with the fallout from a corruption investigation that led to the resignation on Friday of his top negotiator and chief of staff, Andriy Yermak. Mr. Yermak had participated in the Geneva talks, and had appeared with Mr. Rubio to discuss them with reporters.

Russian officials said earlier that Mr. Witkoff planned to travel to Moscow next week.

The recent diplomacy has become fraught because of questions about whether some of Mr. Trump’s aides are favoring the demands of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia at the expense of Mr. Zelensky and Ukrainians, whose country is besieged by the Russian military.
