U.S. Says Russia Must Answer Draft Peace Package as Kremlin Weighs Miami Talks

The Kremlin signals follow-up to the Miami talks following a briefing to Vladimir Putin by envoy Kirill Dmitriev.

Overview

  • U.S. NATO envoy Matthew Vitaker says Russia now holds the initiative in the negotiations and must indicate what concessions it will make.
  • Negotiators are working from multiple draft texts — a 20-point peace document, security-guarantee frameworks and a postwar economic plan — with talks described as ongoing in real time.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says Dmitriev has reported on the Miami contacts, Moscow will continue engagement through existing channels, and officials are formulating a further position.
  • Peskov declines to comment on the draft agreement and says the documents brought from Miami will not be released to the media.
  • Vitaker says only the U.S. president can convene both sides to test an agreement, noting Russia continues large nighttime strikes against Ukraine.
