Overview
- U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Ukraine’s Rustem Umerov called their Florida meetings "productive and constructive," saying they aligned on four documents covering a 20-point plan, multilateral and U.S. security guarantees, and an economic recovery plan with timelines and sequencing.
- Russia’s Kirill Dmitriev described separate U.S.–Russia discussions as constructive, while the Kremlin said many proposed changes from Ukraine and Europe are unacceptable and rejected claims that three‑way talks were being prepared.
- There were no face‑to‑face negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Florida, with each side meeting separately with U.S. officials.
- Core disputes over territorial control and enforceable security guarantees persist, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Washington to increase pressure on Moscow.
- Fighting continued as a Russian strike on Odesa’s port infrastructure killed eight and wounded dozens, and Ukraine accused Russian forces of forcibly moving about 50 civilians from Sumy into Russia.
