Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described recent discussions with US representatives on a peace plan as “constructive” but “not easy.” These talks focused on territorial issues and security guarantees for Ukraine, with Zelensky scheduled to meet European leaders this week.

• Discussions between US and Ukrainian delegations in Miami, Florida, covered territorial issues, which were reportedly “difficult,” and US security guarantees, where “significant progress” was made.
• Zelensky held a “long and substantive” phone call with Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner after the Miami talks.
• Former US President Donald Trump claimed Zelensky “isn’t ready” to sign off on a US-authored peace proposal, while Russia welcomed adjustments in the new US National Security Strategy, which acknowledges the possibility of a peaceful resolution.
