A Russian envoy has traveled to Miami, Florida, for discussions on ending the war in Ukraine. However, a quick resolution is not expected.
The talks are a continuation of earlier, secret meetings. They are not formal negotiations. The Russian representative is not scheduled to meet with European officials involved in the peace process.
In related news, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that presidential elections cannot be held in parts of Ukraine currently occupied by Russia. He said voting there is impossible under martial law and would be unfair.
The Miami talks represent a rare direct channel between Russia and international mediators, but major disagreements remain.
