U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff described talks with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev in Florida as productive, advancing efforts to end the nearly four-year Ukraine war, officials said.
- On Saturday, US special envoy Steve Witkoff reported productive meetings with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev in Florida as former President Donald Trump's administration pushes to end the Ukraine war.
- The Abu Dhabi round last week marked the first US-mediated public talks between Moscow and Kyiv and preceded a second round with US mediators to discuss a US-backed peace plan.
- Regarding ceasefires for energy infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week’s talks discussed a ceasefire, while Vladimir Putin agreed Thursday not to attack such targets for a week, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed Friday.
- Several sticking points remain, including Russia's demand that Ukrainian forces withdraw from about one-fifth of the Donetsk region and debate over international peacekeepers.
- Steve Witkoff said on Saturday he was encouraged by the talks and noted US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Jared Kushner, and Josh Gruenbaum attended, while President Donald Trump said this week `we are getting close` to a deal.
