US special envoy Steve Witkoff will meet the head of Ukraine’s national security council, Rustem Umerov, for talks in Miami on Thursday, the White House has confirmed.
The meeting comes after Witkoff spent almost five hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday, negotiations which the Kremlin said produced “no compromise” on ending the war in Ukraine.
US President Trump said the talks – also attended by his son-in-law Jared Kushner – were “reasonably good”, but added that it was too soon to say what would happen because “it does take two to tango.”
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybhia said Russia must “end the bloodshed”, and accused Putin of “wasting the world’s time.’
