Overview

  • Kyrylo Budanov, Rustem Umerov and Davyd Arakhamiia arrived in Florida for meetings in Miami with U.S. representatives Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll.
  • Kyiv seeks clarity on enforceable guarantees and a U.S.-led “prosperity” package that officials say could unlock about $800 billion for reconstruction over a decade.
  • Zelenskyy says Ukraine aims to finalize documents for signing with the United States at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week, though Russia would still need to be consulted.
  • Fighting continues as Russia strikes energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Odesa regions, causing widespread outages and emergency measures in freezing conditions.
  • Core disputes remain unresolved, including territorial arrangements and the future of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and Moscow has not publicly commented on the 20-point draft.
