Special White House envoys Steve Vitkoff and Jared Kushner plan to present to the Ukrainian delegation and European officials in Miami “new ideas” for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. One of them is a partial cease-fire that would pertain to energy infrastructure and grain supplies. About this 9 October writes Axios.
The meeting will take place in Miami 9–10 October.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump hopes to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough before the midterm elections and before Ukraine faces a harsh winter.
“They’re all nervous about winter. It will be a hard winter if the war does not stop. So the U.S. is trying to mediate with the parties to craft a single proposal,” a U.S. source said.
Although Ukraine stated its readiness to agree to a ceasefire, Russia has not shown a particular willingness, the publication noted.
The publication says that on the eve Vitkoff and Kushner met with U.S. President Donald Trump, presented him with the latest proposal, and heard his opinion. Also present at the meeting were Finance Secretary Steve Mnuchin and deputy national security adviser Michael Noordeen.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said in the evening 8 of October that the leadership of the Ukrainian delegation includes Kyrylo Budanov, first deputy Serhiy Kislytsia, head of the parliamentary faction “Servant of the People” Dmytro Arakhamiya, and the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Rustem Umerov.
Advisers on national security from France, the United Kingdom, and Germany will be present at the meeting, as well as representatives of NATO and the EU.
According to Axios, the parties will discuss proposals for security guarantees for Ukraine, a plan for postwar prosperity, and other aspects.
An unnamed Ukrainian official told the publication that, despite Kyiv’s skepticism, U.S. midterm elections and Russia’s need to lift sanctions may push the illegitimate Russian president Vladimir Putin to agree to some ceasefire.
Vitkoff and Kushner may travel to Moscow later this month for further talks with Putin, a media source said.
