US envoy Steve Witkoff announced in a statement on X that US, Ukrainian, and European officials held “productive” talks in Miami aimed at finding ways to end the Russia-Ukraine war before winter. The discussions involved the E3, the European Commission, Ukraine, and NATO, covering topics such as energy resilience, grain exports, security guarantees, and Ukraine’s potential EU accession. Talks also addressed post-war reconstruction for Ukraine and its economic prosperity.

Story summary
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that Ukraine's negotiators would meet in Miami on October 9 and 10 to discuss new ideas for ending the war with Russia, which has been ongoing since 2014. The talks were organized by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner from the US and included representatives from Ukraine, as well as officials from the EU and NATO. Zelenskiy expressed hope that European partners would join these discussions to mirror the efforts led by the United States. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin cited Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow as a reason for not resuming peace talks immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russia aimed at boosting global diesel supplies and easing fuel prices, despite criticism from lawmakers and Zelenskiy himself. The discussions focused on security guarantees for Ukraine, post-war reconstruction plans, and preventing future conflicts in Europe.
