Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will brief Kyiv officials in Miami on Thursday, after a US meeting with Vladimir Putin this week concluded with no agreement on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Witkoff and Kushner will meet Ukraine’s chief negotiator Rustem Umerov and chief of the general staff Andriy Hnatov to continue talks, after the Russian president rejected a US-backed peace proposal and renewed threats to seize more Ukrainian territory.
A senior Ukrainian official cautioned that Thursday’s meeting was a “debrief by the Americans” and not “a negotiation session?.?.?.?when they are back [in Kyiv] we will have a delegation meeting and see what’s next”.
