Following negotiations with the U.S. side in Florida, progress has been made in aligning positions and narrowing the range of unresolved issues.

This was reported on Facebook by a member of the Ukrainian delegation—Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov—according to Ukrinform.

During the meetings in Florida, the parties focused on issues of reliable security guarantees and the humanitarian track, in particular the exchange and return of people from Russian captivity.

The Ukrainian delegation has already briefed President Volodymyr Zelensky on the results of the negotiations and will present a detailed report upon returning to Ukraine, Umerov noted.

The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council thanked the United States for its consistent involvement in the negotiation process.

“We expect that the momentum achieved will allow us to move on to the next stage of meetings,” he stated.
