Umerov wrote about the report to Zelensky following the negotiations in the United States in Telegram.
“We have made significant progress in promoting a dignified peace and bringing our positions closer to the American side. Our key goals – security, sovereignty and reliable peace – remain unchanged and are shared by the American side. What lies ahead is continued consultations and work to agree on a joint framework solution.”
Negotiations in the United States between the American and Ukrainian delegations consisted of two parts. The first lasted two hours, after which a break was announced. In total, the negotiations lasted five hours, Axios noted.
The day after the meeting, on December 1, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff will fly to Moscow, where he is scheduled to hold talks with illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 2.
Following the meeting in Miami, US Secretary of State and head of the American delegation Marco Rubio said that the American and Ukrainian teams are working not only on the conditions for ending the war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, but also on “conditions that will ensure long-term prosperity for Ukraine.”
Umerov called the negotiations with the United States “difficult,” but “meaningful and successful.”
