Details: Zelenskyy said that the venue for the talks could be Miami.

Quote: "America has offered for the first time for the two negotiating groups, Ukraine and Russia, to meet in the US, probably in Miami, in a week. We have confirmed our participation."

More details: Zelenskyy also said he had spoken by phone with the Ukrainian delegation after all the meetings.

Personal briefings from the negotiating team members are scheduled for 7 February after the delegation returns from the UAE to Ukraine.

Background:

• Zelenskyy also said that the US had proposed that Russia's war against Ukraine be ended before the summer, as they would have a different priority later on, namely the US congressional elections.
• He also confirmed that the territorial issue and the issue of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant remained unresolved during talks in Abu Dhabi.
• Zelenskyy also said that US representatives in Abu Dhabi had once again proposed introducing an energy ceasefire.
