Ukraine's top negotiator in Miami for talks: Reuters
The talks aim to revive stalled peace negotiations as Russia and Ukraine remain deadlocked over territory and security guarantees, officials said.
- Ukraine's top negotiator, Rustem Umerov, arrived in Miami for talks with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff as peace talks on ending Russia's war have stalled in recent months.
- Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia remain deadlocked over the status of the Donetsk region, with Moscow demanding Kyiv withdraw troops from areas it failed to capture during its four-year invasion.
- Umerov's trip occurs amid a high-profile corruption scandal following Ukrainska Pravda's publication of recordings involving his associates, prompting the Verkhovna Rada to summon him for questioning.
- Tensions are rising ahead of the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow after Russia violated its own unilaterally declared ceasefire on May 6, with neither side accepting subsequent proposals.
- Washington's focus has shifted toward the US-Iran conflict, complicating previous hopes that Witkoff and Jared Kushner would visit Kyiv, leaving Ukrainian and Russian representatives with only separate talks since February.
