Ukraine, Europe and US officials to meet in Miami to discuss ending Russia's war in Ukraine

Ukrainian and European officials are scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in Miami on Friday to discuss new ideas for ending Russia's war in Ukraine. The meeting follows a series of Russian attacks that killed over 70 civilians in two days, including strikes on Kramatorsk and Chernihiv. Zelenskyy confirmed the attendance of his negotiating team and urged the US to expand Ukraine's access to Starlink for targeting Russian missile launchers.

Why it matters. The meeting represents a direct diplomatic effort involving Ukraine, Europe and the US to seek a resolution to the ongoing war, which has caused significant civilian casualties and regional instability.
