US officials support territorial compromise in Ukraine peace talks

US authorities continue to view a territorial compromise as a potential component of a future Ukraine settlement, according to Axios, which cited sources familiar with the ongoing negotiations.

The report comes as US and Ukrainian negotiators prepare to continue discussions on Saturday, following a series of meetings held on Friday in Miami.
United States and Ukrainian officials entered their second day of negotiations in Miami to discuss US President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan to resolve the ongoing Ukraine war.

Talks began Thursday evening and lasted approximately two hours. The Trump peace plan, initially drafted as a 28-point proposal, is reportedly at the center of the dialogue between the two delegations.

The Ukrainian delegation is led by National Security Adviser and Chief Negotiator Rustem Umerov, along with Ukrainian Military Chief of Staff Gen. Andrii Hnatov. Representing the United States are US Special Envoy Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law.

“Constructive discussions were held on advancing a credible pathway toward a durable and just peace in Ukraine,” the statement said.

The talks are set to resume on Saturday, according to US officials.

US-Russia discussions briefed to Kiev delegation
The State Department also noted that the results of US talks with Russian officials were shared with the Ukrainian delegation during Friday’s session.

“The participants discussed the results of recent meeting of the American side with the Russians and steps that could lead to ending this war,” the statement added.

The delegations agreed on a framework of security arrangements, discussing the deterrence capabilities necessary to sustain a lasting peace. Both sides reportedly emphasized the importance of establishing long-term stability through diplomatic and defense channels.

Trump administration pushes revised peace proposal
Since mid-November, the Trump administration has been promoting a renewed push for peace in Ukraine.

The original 28-point proposal was reduced to 19 points following a round of US, Ukrainian, and European negotiations held in Geneva on November 23. The revised version is currently under review during the Miami peace talks.
