U.S. and Ukrainian delegations met for five hours in Miami on Sunday to outline a potential peace framework with Russia. Envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Moscow this week to discuss the updated framework with President Putin.
The updated proposal documents will reflect revisions discussed with Kyiv and European officials. Territorial concessions and postwar security guarantees remain the central unresolved issues.
Ukrainian officials said negotiations focused largely on where the future territorial boundary would be drawn, calling the discussions difficult but productive.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said progress was made while cautioning that “more work” remains. The Ukrainian delegation was led by National Security Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, following the departure of top aide Andriy Yermak after an anti-corruption raid on his home.
Umerov described the talks as successful, while Rubio reiterated that the broader objective extends beyond ending the fighting to securing Ukraine’s long-term future.
