Washington, December 18 (Xinhua) — American and Russian negotiators plan to meet in Miami, Florida, this weekend to discuss a peace agreement in Ukraine, the American publication Politico reported on Wednesday.
The date for the talks has not yet been confirmed. At the meeting, the Donald Trump administration intends to present to the Russian side the results of the discussions that US, Ukrainian, and European officials held in Berlin last weekend, Politico reports, citing two informed sources.
The American side is expected to be represented by US Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, while the Russian delegation will include Russian Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev, the article states.
It is also planned that Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov will meet with the US delegation in Miami or another city this coming weekend.
During talks in Berlin last weekend, US, European, and Ukrainian officials reached consensus or significant convergence on 90 percent of the disagreements on the US-drafted 20-point peace plan, Trump administration officials said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that if a peace agreement is reached, the country could forgo NATO membership in exchange for Western security guarantees aimed at preventing a new conflict with Russia. Kyiv will seek guarantees comparable to those available within the alliance, something the US has not yet provided.
Ukraine is ready to agree to security guarantees similar to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty as part of a compromise in the peace process, Ukrinform reports, citing Zelensky.
