Overview
- Sources say the draft organizes proposals into four areas: peace terms for Ukraine, security guarantees, wider European security, and future U.S. ties with Kyiv and Moscow.
- Special envoy Steve Witkoff is leading the effort and held multiday talks in Miami with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who says Moscow feels its position is being heard.
- A U.S. official says the goal is a written proposal before the next Trump–Putin meeting, with the plan described as inspired by the administration’s Gaza deal approach.
- Witkoff postponed a planned meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Turkey after earlier discussions with national security adviser Rustem Umerov; how to handle contested eastern territory remains unclear.
- In a parallel push, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Gen. Randy George made a rare wartime visit to Kyiv for meetings on defense cooperation and to help revive talks, with reports indicating Driscoll could meet Russian officials later.
