US, Ukrainian Delegations to Discuss Peace in Miami as Trump’s Envoys May Return to Moscow
US and Ukrainian delegations will meet in Miami to discuss new peace proposals, including a possible ceasefire covering energy infrastructure and grain shipments. US envoys Witkoff and Kushner may travel to Moscow later this month for further talks with Putin.
The United States and Ukraine will convene in Miami on October 9th to discuss new peace proposals aimed at ending Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine, while US presidential envoys may return to Moscow for further talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming weeks. According to Axios, citing US and Ukrainian officials, the two-day meetings will focus on potential ways to break the diplomatic impasse, such as a possible partial ceasefire targeting energy infrastructure and grain shipments.
The Trump administration is keen on achieving a diplomatic breakthrough before the US midterm elections and before the harsh winter sets in in Ukraine. Officials from the US, UK, France, Germany, NATO, and the European Union are expected to attend the talks. Ukrainian delegation members include President Volodymyr Zelensky's Chief of Staff Kyrylo Budanov, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, Davyd Arakhamia, and First Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged the war's stalemate and expressed Washington's desire to prevent further escalation. Despite skepticism in Kyiv, a Ukrainian official stated that the upcoming US midterm elections and Russia's interest in sanctions relief could incentivize Putin to agree to a ceasefire.
