Several draft documents ready after talks: Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday several draft documents, including on security guarantees, had been prepared after talks between US and Ukrainian officials on ending Russia's war in Ukraine.

US officials held talks in Miami at the weekend with Ukrainian and European delegations, and had separate talks in Florida with Russian representatives as Washington tests the scope for a settlement after nearly four years of war.

Kyiv, under US pressure to quickly secure peace, has sought to balance out an initial proposal widely seen as favourable to Moscow demanding it cede more territory and restrict its military capabilities.

“They worked productively with envoys of President (Donald) Trump and several draft documents have now been prepared,” Zelensky wrote on X after being briefed by Ukrainian negotiators Rustem Umerov and Andrii Hnatov.

“In particular, these include documents on security guarantees for Ukraine, on recovery, and on a basic framework for ending this war.”

Ukrainian officials have sought strong security guarantees from allies to prevent another Russian invasion after any peace deal.

“The points for today have been set in such a way as to correspond to the objective of actually ending the war and the need to prevent a third Russian invasion," Zelensky added.
