Story summary

On October 8 and 9, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that his country's negotiators would hold talks with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in Miami, alongside representatives from the EU, UK, France, Germany, NATO, and the European Commission. The discussions aimed to address new ideas and proposals for ending the 4-1/2-year-old war with Russia. Zelenskiy noted that these talks would also cover issues such as air defense systems due to ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. Additionally, the meeting took place amid criticism of a recent deal between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin to boost diesel supplies from Russia, which was seen by some as undermining efforts to resolve the conflict. The talks in Miami were expected to last two days with the goal of advancing towards a durable peace settlement before winter sets in.
