Overview
- Zelensky reported that negotiators prepared several texts covering a 20‑point framework to end the war, security guarantees, and a recovery treaty.
- The security architecture includes a multilateral EU–U.S.–Ukraine framework plus a separate bilateral U.S.–Ukraine guarantee that will go to Congress with classified annexes.
- Ukraine’s Rustem Umierov and Andrii Hnatov returned from Florida to brief Zelensky after meetings with U.S. envoys, which both sides described as productive.
- The U.S. team has also held separate Florida talks with Russian representatives; the Kremlin cautioned against viewing those exchanges as a breakthrough.
- Zelensky outlined potential guarantees such as funding an expanded 800,000‑strong army and a Coalition of the Willing spanning air, land, and sea, as Russian strikes continued to hit civilians and energy infrastructure.
