Overview
- After Miami meetings, negotiators Rustem Umerov and Andrii Hnatov briefed President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said a 20-point framework, security guarantees and a recovery treaty are now in draft form.
- Kyiv says the package includes a multilateral guarantees framework with the EU and U.S., plus a separate U.S.–Ukraine bilateral guarantee slated for congressional consideration with classified annexes.
- U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff described the Florida discussions with Ukrainian, European and separate Russian delegations as productive and constructive, while the Kremlin cautioned there was no breakthrough.
- Zelensky noted the process is close to a real result, yet contentious issues such as territory and the shape of enforcement mechanisms remain under negotiation.
- Fighting continued as Russian strikes hit Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and Zelensky urged sustained sanctions and pressure on Moscow even as diplomatic work proceeds.
