Peace talks between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia took place in Miami, Florida, this past week, aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine. Steve Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy, met with Ukrainian and Russian representatives separately. Ukraine and the U.S. discussed a 20-point plan, while the U.S. delegation also met with Kirill Dmitriev, an envoy for President Putin. While Witkoff initially described the talks with Russia as positive, a top Kremlin official, Yuri Ushakov, later dismissed the proposals as "unconstructive." The talks are an effort to find a resolution to the war, amidst differing proposals, including one from President Trump.
