‘Scandalous’ to say Ukrainians are dying due to U.S. pulling support, Rubio says

U.S. envoys were expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Norway on Tuesday, as Kyiv scrambles to respond to an American pressure campaign that has been allied with moves aimed at courting the Kremlin.

President Donald Trump’s negotiators, son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff, have so far had little success finding a diplomatic solution to the war. Their latest meeting comes with Washington’s backing in doubt as Kyiv accused the U.S. of withdrawing support crucial to its defense against Russia — a suggestion that Secretary of State Marco Rubio called “scandalous.”
