The meeting is set to take place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. The US side will be represented by Steve Witkoff, the president’s special envoy for contacts with the Kremlin, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, both of whom played key roles in brokering a ceasefire in Gaza.

Ukraine will be represented by senior security official Rustem Umerov and First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergiy Kyslytsya. Earlier reports said the delegation would be led by Andriy Yermak, head of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office, but he was dismissed on Friday.

The talks come as Washington pushes a peace plan that has raised concerns among Kyiv’s European partners, who say more work is needed before any framework can be accepted.
