A Ukrainian delegation is holding another meeting in Florida with a U.S. negotiating team on Sunday, according to Kyiv’s top negotiator, Rustem Umerov, as talks continue over a possible peace deal.

“The third day of work in the U.S.,” Umerov said on social media. “We are working constructively and substantively. We expect further progress and practical results.”

Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev said separate talks between Russian and U.S. officials are “proceeding constructively.” Those discussions will continue Sunday, he added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that the U.S. offered to hold trilateral talks but whether they will happen depends on the results of Ukraine-U.S. negotiations.

The current round of consultations followed meetings that U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, held with Kyiv and its European backers in Berlin last week.
