What are the key points in the Ukraine-U.S. negotiations?
Ukraine tries another round of negotiations today, not with Russia, but with its ally, the United States.
Which paused its aid. So what does the U.S. want from Ukraine? What are the Ukrainians able to offer?
I'm E. Martinez, that's Steve Inskeep, and this is Up First from NPR News. The stock markets had their worst day of the year. The fear is that the president's repeated tariff changes may cause recession.
There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big.
Why did the president's response make investors even more concerned?
Also, the Department of Education, not yet abolished, is telling 60 universities they may face penalties. The department describes last year's protests over Gaza as, quote, relentless anti-Semitic eruptions. Stay with us. We've got the news you need to start your day.

Bella DePaulo is glad if you're happily married, but she is perfectly happy being single.
I would love to have someone who took care of my car or someone who cleaned up the dishes after dinner, but then I'd want them to leave.
From yourself to your dog to your spouse are significant others. That's on the TED Radio Hour from NPR.
Neuroscientist Ethan Cross says you may think it's healthy to vent about what's bothering you, but... The problem is you often leave that conversation feeling really good about the person you just communicated with, but all the negative feelings are still there. Sometimes they're even more activated.
Tools for managing our emotions. That's on the TED Radio Hour podcast from NPR.
Ukraine struck Russia today. It was the biggest ever drone attack on Moscow. According to Russian officials, the drone strikes hit a warehouse, killed and injured people, and briefly shut down the airports. It was a sign that Ukraine still has some striking power, even though it has lost some vital American support. Today, U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators meet to discuss that and much more.
This meeting is happening in Saudi Arabia, and the talks do come with some urgency attached to them. The Trump administration is withholding both military aid and intelligence from a country that up until now has been a U.S. ally. President Trump has also talked of sanctions against Russia, but unlike with Ukraine, he has yet to announce a penalty.
What actions is the U.S. Education Department taking against universities?
NPR Ukraine correspondent Joanna Kakisis is covering all this from Kiev. Hi there, Joanna. Good morning. Let's just remember the backdrop here. Ukrainians and Americans met at the White House. Last time they met, it was Volodymyr Zelensky who argued with Trump and Vance, President Trump and Vice President Vance, and they then berated him. So what does Ukraine hope for this time?
Well, Steve, Ukrainians really hope the White House will change its tone after this meeting and its actions because the past couple of weeks have really unsettled everyone I've spoken to here, including Roman Kostenko. He's a military commander and lawmaker, and he said Ukraine has no choice but to work with the Trump administration because Ukraine will struggle to defend itself without U.S. support.
He's saying we have no way out.
We have to manage or we will die. It's not even a choice.
What is the public sentiment in Ukraine regarding the ceasefire?
Okay, so they have no choice but to come back to the table. Here they are. President Trump spoke with reporters over the weekend, and he said of Ukrainians, quote, I want them to want peace, although it is not clear at all what more the president wants than they have offered. So what's on the agenda for this meeting?
Well, Steve, no final decisions are set to be made today. Zelensky's in Saudi Arabia on a state visit, but he said he isn't planning to attend this meeting and Trump won't be there either. The Ukrainian team includes Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Germak, as well as Ukraine's foreign and defense ministers. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading the U.S. delegation.
