PEACE PERSEVERES: Putin Envoy Kirill Dmitriev Heading to Miami To Meet Trump Negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner Over the Weekend
Witkoff-Dmitriev has been quite the partnership for peace – but can they take it to the finish line?
After the eventful last days of peace negotiations between the US, Ukraine, and their European sponsors, it has come the time to relay the new proposals to the Russians.
Reports have arisen saying that a Kremlin top envoy will travel to Miami, Florida, to get acquainted and discuss the plan.
The US administration of Donald J. Trump is globe-trotting, implementing a shuttle diplomacy effort, and for once, the other party is flying in, instead.

Associated Press reported:
“Kirill Dmitriev, who heads Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in Miami on Saturday, according to an American official who spoke on condition of anonymity to preview a meeting that hasn’t yet been publicly announced.
The official said that Witkoff and Kushner will sit down with Dmitriev, after meetings with Ukrainian and European officials in Berlin earlier this week, in which they discussed U.S. security guarantees for Kyiv, territorial concessions and other aspects of the American-authored plan aimed at ending the war.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Moscow is preparing for contacts with the US.
