Quote: "Today, our team met with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in the United States. This is important for the whole world: diplomacy continues, and we are working to end Russia's war against Ukraine. No one wants this war. The teams will continue discussions tomorrow.

The key issue is to understand how ready Russia is to move towards a real end to the war – honestly and with dignity – especially now, when geopolitical tensions have increased due to the situation around Iran."

Details: Zelenskyy added that he is expecting a detailed report from the Ukrainian team.

Background:

• The Ukrainian negotiating team arrived in Miami for bilateral talks with US representatives.
• The talks were expected to begin at around 16:00 Kyiv time.

Previously:

• It was previously reported that Ukrainian and US negotiating teams would meet in Miami on Saturday 21 March for talks that would be attended by Witkoff.
• Zelenskyy outlined his expectations for the Ukrainian delegation's visit to the US, during which preparations for the next trilateral meeting would be among the topics discussed.
• He also explained that Ukraine would be represented by only a political delegation at the talks, citing the lack of "political will" to end the war. Russia is not expected to take part in these negotiations.
