Miami Ukraine talks planned Moscow and Kyiv respond

Oct 8

CCTV relays Axios's October 8 report of planned October 9 Miami U.S.–Ukrainian talks involving Witkoff and Kushner, prospective energy and grain arrangements, European participation and security/recovery issues. Zelenskyy confirms the prospective two-day talks. It recalls Rubio's dangerous-stalemate warning. Peskov says Russia wants a comprehensive settlement rather than a limited truce and is discussing potential economic projects with the United States. Zelenskyy rejects the impasse description, seeks greater U.S. pressure and Starlink access over Russia, and criticizes discussion of economic projects alongside claims of stalemate. Talks and proposals are prospective; this narrated Starlink wording remains attributed.
