Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said early on Oct. 10 local time that President Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump the chance of immediately resuming Russia-Ukraine negotiations had been undermined by what Moscow described as Ukrainian attempts to disrupt Russia’s State Duma election and attacks on civilians. Putin also said Russian forces hold the initiative on the battlefield and continue to advance, and that, given Kyiv’s current position, Russia cannot restart talks with Ukraine at this stage. Ushakov added that Trump instructed that Putin’s message be passed to the Ukrainian delegation, while no specific discussion was held on a possible bilateral meeting between Putin and Trump. Separately, people familiar with the matter said U.S., Ukrainian and European negotiators held about six hours of talks in Miami on Friday to seek a common peace proposal aimed at ending the war. The goal is to shape a plan in the coming weeks and present it to Russia, in hopes of securing a breakthrough before winter. The discussion covered postwar security guarantees for Ukraine, economic reconstruction, a path toward European Union membership, territorial issues, and the future security structure involving Europe and Russia, though no detailed arrangements were disclosed.
