Representatives from the US, Europe, Ukraine, and NATO on Friday held “constructive discussions” in the US state of Florida on ways to de-escalate and end the war with Russia ahead of the winter, according to US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
“The discussions covered a broad range of issues, including near-term measures related to winter preparedness (energy resilience, grains exports), security guarantees, as well as longer-term arrangements for Ukraine’s and Europe’s security to prevent future conflicts, and support Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction and economic prosperity, including EU accession,” Witkoff wrote on US social media platform X on the meetings in Miami.
The discussions also addressed support for “Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction and economic prosperity, including EU accession,” he said. “The exchange was productive and helped identify areas for further exploration ahead of the United States’ next engagement with Russia.”
“Participants reaffirmed their shared commitment to continuing diplomatic efforts toward a sustainable peace that strengthens security and creates opportunities for lasting stability and prosperity,” he added.
The meeting came the same day that US President Donald Trump said he concluded a “highly successful discussion” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that it was agreed that Russia “will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter.”
The US Treasury Department later issued a general license authorizing transactions related to the sale, delivery, offloading and importation of Russian-origin diesel fuel through April 7 of next year.
