A special envoy for Donald Trump met with Ukraine's top negotiator in Miami this week. The talks focused on potential plans to end the war with Russia.
Both sides called the discussions "productive." However, no major breakthrough was announced.
The meeting highlights how the former U.S. president is preparing his own foreign policy strategy. Trump is the Republican candidate in November's election against President Joe Biden.
The envoy, real estate investor Steve Witkoff, and Ukrainian negotiator Andriy Yermak issued a joint statement. They agreed on the need for a "just and lasting peace" in Ukraine.
Official peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia have been frozen for years. Ukraine's government has stated it will not negotiate directly with Moscow until Russian forces leave its territory.
