Rustem Umierov, Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, is on his way to the United States for a meeting with negotiators representing US President Donald Trump.

Details: Lytvyn confirmed a report by Reuters stating that Umierov was already en route.

He added that more information will be provided shortly.

Background:

• Earlier, unofficial reports suggested that Umierov would travel to Miami this week for talks with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Anonymous sources, including a White House representative, declined to provide details of the meeting's agenda.
• Negotiations on the Russo-Ukrainian war have virtually ground to a halt since the US and Israel began their military campaign against Iran. An anticipated visit to Kyiv by Trump's negotiators "after Orthodox Easter" never took place.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated at the end of April that Ukraine is ready for another round of peace talks with Russia in a trilateral format.
