Ukrainian negotiating team heading home from US – Presidential Office
Ukraine’s negotiating team is already on its way home.
The Ukrainian negotiating team has returned to Ukraine following a series of peace talks in Florida, according to a press release from President Zelensky’s communications adviser Dmytro Lytvyn. Lytvyn told journalists that the team's departure was not due to the cancellation of talks scheduled for October 10, but rather the first day's proceedings proved to be longer and of a different nature.
Earlier reports suggested that European nations' representatives were also present in the United States alongside the Ukrainian negotiating team. Peace talks commenced in Florida on the preceding day and were set to continue on October 10. During these negotiations, it was revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump had chosen to waive sanctions imposed on Russian diesel fuel.
President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his concerns over Trump's decision, stating that it would provide Russia with additional funds to finance the ongoing war. The Ukrainian leader argued that this move only serves to bolster Vladimir Putin’s position and provide him with more resources to extend the conflict. Zelensky further claimed that the Ukrainian negotiating team's presence in Florida had been utilized as a distraction.
