The talks are part of the Trump administration’s push for peace that also included meetings with Ukrainian and European officials in Berlin earlier this week.

“The discussions are proceeding constructively. They began earlier and will continue today, and will also continue tomorrow,” Kirill Dmitriev told reporters in Miami on Saturday.

Mr Dmitriev met with US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Mr Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Mr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram yesterday that diplomatic efforts were “moving forward quite quickly, and our team in Florida has been working with the American side”.
