Overview
- Talks in Miami produced a 20-point peace framework alongside drafts for multilateral U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine and a postwar economic plan.
- U.S. NATO envoy Matthew Vitaker said the next move belongs to Moscow and noted Russia continues mass night strikes on Ukraine.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said envoy Kirill Dmitriev briefed Vladimir Putin and that contacts with Washington will continue through existing channels, while declining to discuss the 20-point text.
- Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed that the draft conditions entry into force on Russian withdrawal from Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Sumy and Kharkiv, with Donetsk and the status of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant unresolved and Ukrainian elections to follow any deal.
- The Institute for the Study of War assessed that Moscow remains committed to maximalist demands incompatible with the drafts, as the U.S. Treasury is reportedly preparing a new energy-sector sanctions package if Putin rejects the agreement.
