Putin's envoy arrives in Miami for Ukraine talks

On December 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, Kirill Dmitriev, arrived in Miami and has already reached the venue for talks on settling the conflict in Ukraine.

“Dmitriev’s motorcade entered the territory of the designated negotiation venue — one of the city’s golf clubs,” the report said, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

According to the agency, the Russian leader’s special envoy is expected to remain in Miami throughout the weekend.

The U.S. side is represented by President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. The meeting targets discussions focused on the revised U.S. peace plan for Ukraine, following separate U.S. meetings with Ukrainian and European delegations earlier in the week. No trilateral format involving Ukrainian representatives is planned, with direct Russia-Ukraine contact ruled out at this stage.

This Miami round follows intense diplomacy in November and early December, including Witkoff and Kushner's Moscow visit on December 2 to meet Putin, and prior Berlin consultations where the original 28-point U.S. proposal was scaled back amid European objections.
