Pooty Poot vows to take Ukraine's eastern region as top US and Ukrainian prepare to meet

Ukraine's top negotiator is scheduled on Thursday to meet in Florida with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, two days after the American's high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, according to a senior U.S. administration official.

President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is also expected to be in the meeting with Rustem Umerov, the secretary of Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, the official said.

Ahead of the meeting in Florida, Putin reiterated Russia's demand that Ukrainian troops withdraw from territories they control in the east of the country and allow their annexation by Moscow -- a proposal that Kyiv has repeatedly rejected.

Putin again claimed the legitimacy of Russian control of eastern Ukraine citing the results of Russian-organized referenda in the occupied regions.
