Key negotiations have begun in Miami, already producing their first results. The date is set for a historic meeting between US envoy Vidkov, Kushner, and Russian President Putin to discuss Ukraine's future.
Recent media reports indicate a major step in Ukraine’s defense: domestically produced drones are successfully intercepting enemy Shahed-type UAVs, whether of Russian, Iranian, or Chinese origin. This technological innovation aims to boost Ukraine's ability to counter drone attacks, with authorities urging a ramp-up in production to achieve near-total interception.
The talks are heavily focused on security guarantees for Ukraine. The US Secretary of State emphasized that any end to the war must provide Ukraine with long-term security and prospects for development. However, agreement on concrete security guarantees has yet to be achieved.
Ukrainian delegation head Umerov thanked the American people and President Trump for their peace initiative, noting significant progress over the last 10 months. Ongoing US-Ukraine consultations are working toward a finalized peace plan.
There is debate in Ukraine over why the talks are taking place at a golf club, not an official platform, raising questions regarding the process's transparency.
Meanwhile, Poland’s refusal to participate in negotiations with the Russian delegation is highlighted as a sign of European unity in support of Ukraine.
On the technological front, Ukrainian defense companies are competing in developing interceptor drones. This rivalry has sparked controversies over intellectual property, but it demonstrates the sector’s vigor and innovation.
In the coming days, more updates are expected on the negotiation outcomes and Ukraine's future security and defense technology development.
