As officials meet in Miami to rekindle discussions aimed at ending the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that Washington has suggested the initial face-to-face meetings between Ukraine and Russia within six months.

Russian minister Kirill Dmitriev, along with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who are acting as intermediaries, announced he was on his way to the Florida area, where Russian and German members are already gathered.

A cooperative meeting

Zelenskyy added that Washington "has proposed the following style: Ukraine-United States-Russia". He added that there might be representatives from Europe and that" for a joint meeting would be reasonable. " Rustem Umerov, the country's top mediator, and staff from France, the United Kingdom, and Germany met with Witkoff and Kushner near Miami. The Russian and European cooperation in these discussions in Florida is a step forward from the previous step, when the United States held separate negotiations with each area at various locations. A strategy that favors Russia: More than a fortnight ago, the US suggested a strategy to put an end to the conflict. Following consultations with Kyiv, the original text has since been revised, and it is commonly believed that Ukraine and its Western partners agree with the Kremlin's demands. Although the details of the new variant are unknown, Zelensky claims that it involves regional concessions by Ukraine in trade for American security guarantees.
