Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed meetings in Miami scheduled for Friday where U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will discuss new peace ideas with Ukrainian officials including Chief of Staff Kyrylo Budanov. European representatives are also expected to join the two-day talks aimed at developing a unified proposal to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. The discussions, part of renewed U.S. efforts to mediate the conflict, will cover security guarantees for Ukraine and plans for post-war economic recovery amidst concerns about winter energy costs in Europe and escalating Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory.

Story summary
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated on October 8 that Ukraine expects its European partners to join talks with the United States in coming days. These discussions are part of efforts led by the US to seek a resolution to the 4-1/2-year-old war between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian negotiators are scheduled to meet with American officials, including envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, on Friday and Saturday in Miami.
Zelenskiy also mentioned that during these talks, issues like air defense systems would be addressed due to ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. Over the past two days, more than 70 people have been killed in strikes, including a particularly deadly attack on buses in Kramatorsk which claimed 30 lives. The president noted that Ukraine has mirrored Russian actions against data centers and referenced recent drone strikes on a Yandex facility operated in Ukraine.
The upcoming Miami meeting will include representatives from the White House National Security Council, US Treasury Department, as well as national security advisors from key European countries like the UK, France, and Germany, alongside officials from NATO and the EU. Discussions are expected to center around security guarantees for Ukraine, post-war prosperity plans, and other aspects aimed at ending the conflict.
