US peace plan
The US, Ukraine, and Europe have been working for a month on finalizing a new American peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
The previous round of talks in Miami took place on December 19. The agenda included a 20-point general plan, security guarantees, and an agreement on Ukraine's reconstruction.
After the meeting, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov said that Ukraine and the US agreed on further steps and will continue joint work in the near future. He also announced the third round of negotiations today, adding that Ukraine expects "further progress and practical results."
Amid the Ukraine-US negotiations, Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev arrived in Miami to meet with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. After the first talks, Dmitriev said they would continue on Saturday (yesterday) and Sunday (today), and described the discussions as constructive.
Additionally, Zelenskyy said that yesterday, the US proposed a trilateral meeting of Ukraine, the US, and Russia at the level of National Security Advisors (NSA), and Kyiv supports the idea.
