Ukrainian and American Negotiators to Meet in Miami

A Ukrainian and American delegation will meet in Miami on Saturday to continue talks regarding ending the conflict with Russia. Rustem Umerov, Kyrylo Budanov, and David Arakhamia will represent Ukraine, while the American side has not yet been announced. President Zelenskyy expressed hope that agreements with Washington will be reached next week. These negotiations have been ongoing for months, but significant issues remain unresolved, such as the fate of occupied territories and security guarantees for Ukraine. The meeting comes after a series of Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, causing power and heating outages, with Zelenskyy pointing to the lack of Western anti-aircraft missiles.
