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.
