Ukraine Delegation Meets U.S. Officials in Florida After Yermak Resigns

The talks aim to finalize revisions to Washington's peace plan following a shake‑up triggered by a high‑level corruption probe.

Overview

  • A meeting has begun in Florida with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner receiving the Ukrainian delegation, according to U.S. officials.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky said National Security and Defense Council chief Rustem Oumerov is leading the team and expects a report Sunday on steps to implement the amended Geneva framework.
  • Ukraine’s anti‑corruption bodies searched Andriy Yermak’s premises, and Zelensky announced his powerful chief of staff’s resignation as investigators probe about €86 million allegedly diverted from the energy sector.
  • Ukraine claimed drone strikes on two Russian “ghost‑fleet” tankers in the Black Sea, while Russian drone and missile attacks killed at least one person near Kyiv and left more than 600,000 without power.
  • The Élysée said Emmanuel Macron will host Zelensky in Paris on Monday to coordinate on a “just and durable” peace and on security guarantees with European partners.
