Kyiv — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this week that talks with U.S. representatives on a proposed peace plan were constructive but not easy, after U.S. and Ukrainian delegations concluded three-day talks in Miami focusing on territorial issues and U.S. security guarantees. Axios reported territory discussions were difficult as Kyiv rejected Russian demands to withdraw from parts of Donbas. Former U.S. President Donald Trump said Zelensky had not reviewed a U.S. plan and urged rapid adoption. U.S. envoys reportedly met Russian officials in Moscow amid ongoing diplomatic efforts. Top officials exchanged follow-up messages. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.

Who Benefited

U.S. negotiators and backers of the U.S.-supported plan increased diplomatic leverage by framing discussions and engaging both Kyiv and Moscow, potentially advancing U.S. influence in mediation and shaping security-guarantee proposals.

Who Impacted

Ukrainian political leadership and civilians face heightened diplomatic pressure and reputational strain amid leaked proposals and intense external lobbying, which could constrain Kyiv's negotiation flexibility and internal decision-making.
