Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reports progress in US-backed peace talks with American envoys as the war with Russia continues. Talks in Florida have focused on a possible peace framework that would end the nearly four-year war. The discussions involve high-level representatives from Ukraine and the United States.
Zelensky reports progress in US-backed peace talks after a “constructive” phone call with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. He described the exchanges as substantive and said both sides agreed on future steps. The aim is to refine a peace plan that could lead to lasting peace if Russia also commits seriously.
The talks come after several days of meetings between Ukrainian negotiators and U.S. officials in Miami and Florida. Zelensky joined parts of the talks online and stressed that peace will depend on practical guarantees for Ukraine’s security. While specific details still need refinement, both sides discussed how to end the conflict and protect Ukraine’s future.
Despite the diplomatic efforts, fighting on the ground has not stopped. Russia continues to launch drone and missile attacks across Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure and causing outages in several regions. These strikes have increased the urgency for both sides to find a diplomatic solution.
European leaders have expressed support for Ukraine’s peace efforts. French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are scheduled to meet with Zelensky to review the peace talks and discuss security guarantees. This follows wider international discussions on how to secure a ceasefire and long-term stability.
Zelensky says Ukraine is committed to continuing talks in good faith with U.S. partners. He noted that future negotiations should involve clear steps toward ending the war, ensuring Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and preventing future aggression.
While some improvements have been reported, officials caution that real progress depends on Russia’s willingness to make serious commitments toward peace. Both Ukraine and the U.S. have said they will keep working together to refine the framework and prepare for further discussions.
