Zelensky discusses Miami talks with Witkoff and Kushner

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a phone call on Sunday, October 18, with US President Donald Trump's representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, discussing the results of the October 9 Miami meeting between the Ukrainian and American teams. Zelensky stated the teams remain in constant contact and that Ukraine continuously informs the US about the real situation regarding Russian strikes and air defense issues. He emphasized that much depends on America's position, adding Ukraine is ready to work constructively and honestly for real results. The call follows reports that the Miami talks ended early, with Witkoff reportedly leaving for a Trump-Putin call. The negotiations were overshadowed by a US-Russia diesel supply agreement, and The New York Times reported on October 17 that the US proposes restoring Russian gas supplies to Europe as part of a potential peace deal.
