Talks with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, held as part of the US-led peace negotiations on Ukraine, were “very substantive and constructive,” Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram on Saturday.
The Ukrainian delegation—chief negotiator Rustem Umerov and Andriy Gnatov, head of Kyiv’s armed forces—has entered its third day of discussions with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Miami, with Zelensky joining the talks online. The goal is to revise the U.S. peace plan released two weeks ago and work toward ending the war, now approaching its fourth year.
Zelensky said the negotiations reviewed key issues, set out the next steps, and addressed potential guarantees against a future Russian invasion. He emphasised that the details still need to be refined by the negotiating teams and that all proposals must be workable in terms of peace, security, and Ukraine’s reconstruction.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will meet Zelensky in London on Monday to assess the progress of the U.S.-led talks.
