officials, including secretary of state marco rubio, are on the way to saudi arabia for what really may be the make or break talks and moment leading to the end of russia's war on ukraine. a state department official saying the u.s. believes ukraine is ready to push forward to end the conflict. and also this morning, stock futures are down right now after president trump injected even more uncertainty into the economy by saying, who knows if a recession will happen this year. and new today, a desperate search for a college student who vanished while on spring break in the caribbean. authorities are now interviewing a young man who was last seen with her. john is out today. i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner. this is cnn news central. >> the u.s. believes ukraine is ready to move forward on talks to end the war russia started. that's what a state department. a senior state department official is saying. as secretary of state, marco rubio is traveling right now to saudi arabia in hours. he is expected to meet with ukrainian counterparts for talks on ending the war with russia. it's unclear

the secretary of state, marco rubio, says he wants to see and he used this word concessions from theainians. and he said he wants to know what they would be willing to make during these talks with russia. is now the right time for ukraine to start putting concessions, their concessions on the table? >> they do not think that this is the time, what they're trying to do. they have proposed a partial ceasefire, and essentially it would be both sides stop the attacks on civilian infrastructure, on energy. they have prisoner swaps. and but it's it's a first move. they're not going for that. you know the full how do you solve this. and neither are the russians. i mean i think for zelenskyy his problem is if you stop the fighting, if you have a ceasefire, even a temporary ceasefire, what are the guarantees that this won't happen again? what are the guarantees that russia won't come in again and attack? so that means longer term security. and for the russians, the russians are saying we're not you know, we're we're of course we want peace. but they're not saying anything specifically about h
