Miami to Host U.S.-Russia Talks on Ukraine Peace Plan

Miami, FL – December 18, 2025 – U.S. and Russian officials will convene in Miami this weekend for renewed discussions on President Donald Trump’s proposed plan to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, a White House official confirmed to AFP yesterday. The talks follow recent meetings in Berlin between Ukrainian representatives and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described as showing “progress.”

According to Politico, the U.S. delegation is expected to include Witkoff and Kushner, while Russia will be represented by Kirill Dmitriev, Putin’s economic envoy.

These negotiations represent a continuation of intensive international diplomatic efforts to end the nearly four-year-old war. Recent months have seen meetings between Witkoff and Kushner and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, as well as discussions between Ukrainian and European leaders in Berlin.

While Ukraine and the United States report advancements regarding future security guarantees for Kyiv, disagreements persist regarding potential territorial concessions Ukraine might be required to make. President Putin reiterated Wednesday that Moscow would “certainly” achieve its objectives, including securing the territories it claims as Russian.

The upcoming Miami talks represent a crucial opportunity to bridge these divides and potentially pave the way for a lasting peace in the region.
