Diplomatic Efforts in Miami Yield No Major Progress on Ukraine Conflict

On Sunday, officials from the U.S. and Ukraine commented that discussions held in Miami had been “productive and constructive,” although no significant progress was reported in the quest to resolve the ongoing conflict with Russia.

High-ranking representatives from Ukraine and Russia, along with European allies of Kyiv, have spent several days engaged in separate meetings facilitated by Steve Witkoff, the special envoy appointed by President Trump. These discussions are part of a diplomatic initiative that has been underway for several weeks, following the introduction of a 28-point proposal from the U.S. last month, which many perceived as aligning with the demands of the Kremlin.

The proposal has since been modified in collaboration with Ukraine and European nations, but its specific details remain undisclosed.

In social media updates, Witkoff and Ukraine’s lead negotiator Rustem Umerov indicated that the Ukrainian delegation had undertaken a number of discussions with American and European officials aimed at harmonizing positions on various documents, including a revised 20-point agenda, frameworks for security guarantees, and plans for economic recovery.

They noted that the conversations highlighted important timelines and the order of subsequent actions, yet did not specify any future meetings.

Statements revealed that national security advisers from several European nations also participated in the discussions, working to create a unified approach among Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe.

Additionally, Russian economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev was present in Florida and held separate dialogues with the American delegation, which included Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law. Witkoff also referred to these talks as “productive and constructive.”

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned that Dmitriev would provide feedback to Moscow regarding his conversations with American and European officials.

Ukraine Launches Record Number of Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries in November Текст: Ukraine carried out at least 14 drone attacks on Russian oil refineries in November in a new monthly record, BloombergreportedMonday, citing public statements from both countries. Kyiv has stepped up strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure since August in a bid to undercut Moscow’s oil revenues, a key source of funding for its war effort. Among the refineries struck was theAfipsky plantnear Krasnodar, one of the largest in southern Russia with an annual capacity of 9.1 million tons. The facility had already been hit in September, when one of its units was damaged. Rosneft’s Ryazan refinery has been offline since mid-November after drones disabled the main refining unit, which accounts for nearly half of its total 17.1-million-ton annual capacity, Reutersreported. Another unit responsible for more than a quarter of output had been shut down following a drone strike on Oct. 24. Lukoil’s Volgograd refinery has also temporarily halted operations after damage to its primary oil processing unit, which is responsible for around 20% of its capacity of 13.7 million tons per year. Drones also hit the Orsknefteorgsintez refinery in Orsk, Orenburg region, located 1,400 kilometers from Ukraine. Russia’s average daily refining volume has fallen to around 5 million barrels per day as a result of the intensified campaign, down from the 5.3-5.5 million barrels per day typically processed in late autumn, Bloomberg cited analytics firm Kpler as saying. Ukraine also launched four strikes on oil-handling facilities at Black Sea ports,causingseveral days of delays in crude shipments after damage to the port of Novorossiysk. Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels targeted two sanctioned tankers carrying Russian oil in the Black Sea at the end of November, Bloomberg reported. Another tanker transporting Russian gasoil washitby explosions off the coast of Senegal late last month.
