Negotiations between Ukrainian and US representatives in Miami on November 30 focus primarily on the timetable for elections in Ukraine. The talks also cover the potential territorial swap between Ukraine and Russia, along with other unresolved issues, reports The Wall Street Journal.
According to WSJ sources, the discussions focus on the timetable for elections in Ukraine after the war. The talks also address the potential territorial swap with Russia and other unresolved issues.
The US delegation includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. They are meeting with the Ukrainian delegation, led by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov.
"The senior administration official said Witkoff and Kushner plan to leave later for Moscow to continue negotiations with Russia," the WSJ reported.
On November 29, the Ukrainian delegation traveled to the United States to continue discussions on the peace plan. On November 30, the meeting in Miami began and is still ongoing.
Reports indicate that the United States aims to resolve two key issues of the peace plan with Ukraine today, November 30, specifically territorial issues and security guarantees.
Before meeting the Ukrainian delegation, US Secretary of State Mark Rubio outlined the goals of the peace plan, emphasizing that it concerns not only ending the war but also securing Ukraine's sovereignty and prosperity. Ukraine's First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergiy Kyslytsya called the start of negotiations in the US successful.
