Over the weekend, U.S. and Ukrainian delegations wrapped up three-day talks in Miami, focusing on territorial challenges and U.S. security guarantees to help bring peace to Ukraine. 🌍🤝
Territory discussions were described as "difficult," with Russia demanding Ukraine pull back from parts of Donbas. The U.S. team pitched fresh ideas to bridge the gap, turning these sessions into a high-stakes chess game. ♟️
On security guarantees, both sides made "significant progress" toward a draft framework. The next step? Fine-tuning details so everyone interprets the plan the same way—a must for any effective deal. 🛡️
The negotiations concluded with a two-hour phone call featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. Special Envoy for Peace Steven Witkoff, and Jared Kushner. Ukraine's negotiators, Rustem Umerov and Andriy Hnatov, also took part. Zelenskyy called the conversation "long and substantive" on X, underlining both sides' commitment to genuine peace efforts. 📞
Now, Ukraine's team is set to return to Europe on Monday to brief Zelenskyy in London on the latest U.S. proposals. These next steps could shape the future of cross-border peace efforts. 🗺️✨
Stay tuned for updates as these talks evolve—could Miami be the turning point? 🔜
