Ukraine talks begin in Miami Truce and air defence agenda

Oct 9

Koshelenko reports from the United States that Ukrainian and US delegations are meeting in Miami, with Umerov and Budanov among the Ukrainian participants and Witkoff and Kushner on the US side. TSN describes a two-day round at Shell Bay concerning air defence, security and a possible temporary ceasefire affecting infrastructure, alongside prospective European and NATO participation. The correspondent recalls the Trump–Zelenskyy UN meeting, presents Putin's earlier partial-truce remarks as rejection, and discusses possible later venues without announcing an agreement. Citing Axios, she says Trump gave his envoys new instructions. Rubio says the war is at a dangerous impasse and contrasts difficult negotiated concessions with escalation; Koshelenko interprets the danger as possible spillover to neighbors and NATO. The talks are underway and their outcome remains open.
