U.S. and Ukrainian officials met in Miami on Friday for what they described as productive talks on ending the war between Ukraine and Russia, with plans to resume discussions Saturday after consultations with their leaders.

Andriy Hnatov, for “constructive discussions on advancing a credible pathway toward a durable and just peace in Ukraine,” Witkoff said in a Friday statement posted on X.
