Overview
- Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Ukrainian negotiators Rustem Umerov and Andriy Hnatov for a third day of talks in Florida after two days of discussions.
- Both sides said they agreed on a framework of security arrangements and examined the deterrence capabilities Ukraine would need to sustain a lasting peace.
- The delegations also reviewed a “future prosperity” agenda focused on postwar reconstruction, joint U.S.–Ukraine economic initiatives, and long-term recovery projects.
- The joint statement stressed that progress depends on Russian steps toward de-escalation, while Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said no compromise has been reached and some U.S. proposals are not suitable for Moscow.
- Key issues remain unresolved, including territorial questions, the fate of frozen Russian assets, and the scope of security guarantees, as European leaders push for stronger safeguards and continued unity with Washington.
