Two-Day Miami Peace Talks Wrap Up First Day, Overshadowed by Trump’s Putin Diesel Deal
US, Ukrainian and European officials met in Miami on Friday for peace talks initially planned to last two days. The discussions were overshadowed by Trump’s surprise diesel agreement with Putin. No breakthrough was announced, and Witkoff did not confirm whether talks would resume Saturday.
Two-day peace talks in Miami aimed at ending Russia's war in Ukraine were overshadowed by President Donald Trump's surprise diesel agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 9. The high-level meeting brought together US, Ukrainian, and European officials to discuss new peace proposals, security guarantees, and protecting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
US envoy Steve Witkoff described the discussions as "constructive" but announced no breakthrough. The talks, initially expected to last two days, reportedly wrapped up after a six-hour session on Friday. The agreement saw Russia supplying over 300,000 tons of diesel to the US and global markets, temporarily easing economic pressure on Moscow.
However, the move drew criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US lawmakers who warned it could provide fresh revenue for Putin's war.
