LONDON, December 22. There was progress on the Ukraine front during the negotiations with Russian Presidential Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev in Miami, US Vice President JD Vance said.
"I actually got an update from our negotiators this morning. So the breakthrough that I do feel that we’ve made is that all of the issues are actually out in the open," he said in an interview with the British portal UnHerd.
He said America would continue to make diplomatic efforts towards a Ukraine resolution. "And I think that we’ve made progress, but sitting here today, I wouldn’t stay with confidence that we’re going to get to a peaceful resolution. I think there’s a good chance we will, I think there’s a good chance we won’t," Vance also noted.
The negotiations took place on Saturday and Sunday in Miami. On the American side, the meeting was attended by Special Representative of the US president Steve Witkoff, and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
US President Donald Trump wrote on the Truth Social network on March 14 that a "very good and productive" conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin took place on March 13.
Earlier, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin received US special envoy Steven Witkoff late on March 13, through whom the Russian leader conveyed information to his American counterpart. Peskov did not disclose the topics of the conversation between Putin and Witkoff. Leavitt said on March 12 the special envoy was on his way to Moscow to discuss settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
