Russia remains \u201cfully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine,\u201d US President Donald Trump\u2019s confidant has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

US special envoy Steve Witkoff has described the latest negotiations in Miami with Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, as \u201cproductive and constructive,\u201d<\/em> signaling continued momentum in US-led efforts to reach a settlement of the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on X on Sunday, Witkoff said Dmitriev held meetings over the past two days in Florida with an American delegation that included Witkoff himself, President Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and White House official Josh Gruenbaum. The discussions, he said, were aimed at advancing Trump\u2019s peace plan for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine,\u201d<\/em> Witkoff wrote, adding that Moscow \u201chighly values the efforts and support of the United States\u201d<\/em> in resolving the conflict and restoring global security.<\/p>\n

Neither Washington nor Moscow disclosed specific outcomes from the meetings, but both sides have portrayed the dialogue as constructive, suggesting further contact could follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Miami. Next time: Moscow,\u201d<\/em> Dmitriev said after the talks.<\/p>\n

The discussions included American representatives and \u201ckey European national security advisers,\u201d<\/em> and focused on aligning positions on a 20-point peace framework amended by Kiev and its EU backers, multilateral and US-led security guarantees for Ukraine, and a long-term economic and reconstruction plan. Witkoff said particular attention was given to timelines and the sequencing of the next steps.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin has said Dmitriev will brief President Vladimir Putin upon returning to Moscow. Putin\u2019s foreign policy aide, Yury Ushakov, stressed on Sunday that Russia remains skeptical of proposals advanced by Kiev and its European supporters, adding that Moscow will stick to the understanding reached between Putin and Trump during their summit in Alaska in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
