Negotiators representing the Ukrainian government are set to arrive in the United States this weekend for talks aimed at finding a path out of the conflict with Russia.
Leading the delegation is Rustem Umerov, who has taken over as head of the negotiating committee after Andriy Jermak stepped down. Jermak, who had served as chief of staff to the Ukrainian president, resigned under growing pressure tied to a significant corruption investigation.
Florida has emerged as a likely venue for the discussions, according to senior officials who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the talks. Exactly what a deal might look like remains unclear — but the pressure to find a resolution is not letting up.
