""The discussions are proceeding constructively. They began earlier and will continue today, and will also continue tomorrow," Dmitriev told reporters on December 20 on the sidelines of the talks near Miami. All sides involved in the US-brokered peace process have regularly cited "progress" or made other similar characterizations without providing details. The White House did not immediately comment on the talks, although Reuters cited an unnamed US official as saying the talks had concluded for the day."
"Trump in November began pressing Kyiv to accept a 28-point proposal that critics said was heavily skewed in Russia's favor. Ukraine and its European backers scrambled to make amendments to protect Ukraine's interests on territory, security guarantees for Kyiv, and other issues, with reports suggesting the plan now consists of 20 points and takes in more of Kyiv's interests. Prior to the Florida talks, Rubio insisted that Washington would force neither side into a deal."
Russia and the United States are conducting talks in Florida that Dmitriev described as proceeding constructively and scheduled to continue on December 21. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are believed to represent Washington, while the White House offered no immediate comment and Reuters reported the talks had concluded for the day. The talks follow a 28-point proposal pushed by Trump in November that critics said favored Russia. Ukraine and European backers sought amendments to protect territorial and security interests, and reports indicate the proposal has been narrowed to about 20 points. Rubio said Washington will not force either side into a deal.
