• Trump expresses disappointment over Zelenskyy not reading peace proposal.
• Discussions in Miami focused on unresolved issues concerning territory and security.
• Zelenskyy acknowledges “constructive” talks with US envoys but emphasizes need for further negotiation.

US President Donald Trump stated he feels "a little bit disappointed" that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not yet reviewed the proposed peace plan intended to resolve the ongoing war with Russia. Trump noted that while Russian President Vladimir Putin seems "fine" with the proposal, he is unsure about Zelenskyy's position—stating, "His people love it, but he hasn't read it" according to Indiatimes, AA, and The Hill.

The remarks from Trump emerged during his attendance at the Kennedy Center Honors, shortly after negotiations in Miami between US officials and Ukrainian representatives concluded without any substantive breakthroughs on key issues such as territory and security guarantees. Ukrainian Ambassador to the US, Olga Stefanishyna, remarked that "difficult issues remain," indicating a need for further dialogue, as both sides seek to identify realistic solutions to the ongoing conflict according to Indiatimes and The Hill.

In contrast, Zelenskyy described the discussions with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as “long and substantive,” expressing gratitude for the focused dialogue aimed at ensuring an end to hostilities and mitigating the risk of a Russian invasion. Zelenskyy is awaiting a more detailed report on the negotiations from his aides, reinforcing the need for continued collaboration to secure peace, as noted in comments reported by AA, Indiatimes, and The Hill.
