Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's negotiating team met with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and representatives from the E3, European Commission, and NATO in Miami, Florida, on October 9 to discuss peace proposals, security guarantees, and winter preparations. The talks ended sooner than planned, reportedly because US President Donald Trump's announcement of a diesel export deal with Russia 'blindsided' the Ukrainian delegation, leading to the Ukrainian team's return to Ukraine.

Ukraine's negotiating team met with US and European officials in Miami on October 9, but the talks ended early due to Trump's announcement of a diesel export deal with Russia, which disrupted the negotiations and led to the Ukrainian delegation's departure.

The visit [to Moscow] could take place after meetings in Miami with Ukrainian negotiators and European officials on 9 October, where 'new ideas and proposals' are due to be presented to break the deadlock in the Russia-Ukraine war.

American negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner put forward the proposal during talks in Miami on October 9 with representatives of Ukraine, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and NATO.

The European Commission is representing the EU at the latest round of Ukraine peace talks on Oct. 9, with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's chief of staff, Bjoern Seibert representing the bloc.

Two EU officials said Seibert would be representing the European Commission at those talks, alongside the National Security Advisers of the E3 countries: France, Germany, and the U.K.

Another high-ranking EU official described a format that is 'a little bit established' for peace talks during a briefing with journalists. 'That's now being, again, replicated in Miami as we speak,' they said.

US and Ukrainian delegations will meet in Miami on Friday, Oct. 9, to discuss new proposals aimed at ending Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The two-day talks are expected to focus on potential ways to break the diplomatic deadlock, including a possible partial ceasefire covering attacks on energy infrastructure and grain shipments.

The Ukrainian delegation will include President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Chief of Staff Kyrylo Budanov, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, Servant of the People parliamentary faction leader Davyd Arakhamia, and First Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya.

Oleh Ivashchenko, head of Ukraine’s Intelligence Service (HUR), will also be present.

The US has also invited national security advisers from the United Kingdom, France and Germany, along with officials from NATO and the European Union.

Delegations from Ukraine and the US are due to hold a meeting in Miami tomorrow, 9 October, to discuss a peaceful resolution to the war.

The parties will discuss proposals regarding security guarantees for Ukraine, a post-war prosperity plan and other aspects of the war.
