Overview
- U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is leading the effort and held three days of talks in Miami with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev from Oct. 24–26, according to both sides.
- The draft groups proposals into four areas: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, European security architecture, and future U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine.
- Officials say the plan is informed by principles Trump and Vladimir Putin discussed in Alaska in August and takes cues from the administration’s Gaza ceasefire framework.
- The White House has started briefing Ukrainian and European officials; Witkoff also met Ukraine’s national security adviser Rustem Umerov in Miami.
- Key issues such as territorial control remain unresolved as Dmitriev pushes an optimistic outlook, with a written proposal targeted before the next Trump–Putin meeting and a Budapest summit still on hold.
