U.S. and Ukraine hold peace talks in Miami to resolve ongoing war with Russia

Between late 2025 and early 2026, the United States hosted a series of diplomatic meetings in Miami aimed at addressing the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.

The conflict, which began with a major invasion in February 2022, remains highly volatile, with Russia continuing to occupy about 20% of Ukrainian land.

Although officials labeled these sessions as "constructive," the reality on the ground remains defined by persistent drone and missile strikes.

While Ukraine insists on maintaining its territorial integrity, Russia has shown little flexibility regarding its objectives.

Observers often describe these Miami talks as a diplomatic performance rather than a genuine negotiation, highlighting a deep gap between high-level diplomacy in Florida and the daily struggles of the war.
