OPZZh MP Vitaliy Bort is back in Miami.
…On 5 October he flew to Miami and is still in the country. Previously, Vitaliy Bort traveled to Miami for vacation and returned to the Verkhovna Rada last winter with a tan while Ukrainians sat in the dark.
And here, it seems, a hidden role of Vitaliy Bort emerges and a possible reason why, despite all his activities, he remains an "untouchable MP" in another sense of that phrase.
Today, 9 October, the US and Ukraine will hold talks in Miami to discuss proposals aimed at stopping Russian strikes against critically important infrastructure in Kyiv and other cities ahead of winter. Could Bort be the "gray cardinal" of these negotiations?)
Notably, the MP was in Miami in January 2026 of that year, when talks took place there between US representatives and the Russian president’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
Another stay by Bort in the US was recorded in October 2025 — exactly the period when a Ukrainian delegation with Prime Minister Svyrydenko and NSDC Secretary Umerov flew to Washington. Topics: air defense, strike capabilities, energy, and new sanctions against Russia. On 17 October a meeting of Zelensky and Trump with delegations took place at the White House. Yes, Bort flew to Miami on 14 October, but he had time to get to Washington.
Of course, these may be coincidences, but might Ukrainian law enforcement at times overlook the peaceful running of Bort’s family business in the occupied territories… because of Bort’s participation in talks in the US?
