US Envoy Highlights Progress in Ukraine Crisis Resolution
Steve Witkoff, US special presidential envoy for peace missions, acknowledged ongoing challenges but noted some progress in resolving the Ukraine conflict during a business forum in Miami, Florida.
“I sense that there's some break, there's some progress today, but I think it's a tough conflict,” Witkoff said.
He emphasized the significant work remaining, particularly in establishing security protocols for Ukraine. Witkoff pointed out the need for extensive technical team discussions to prepare for a high-level meeting.
Diplomatic Efforts Between the US and Russia
On October 16, following a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the leaders agreed to arrange a meeting in Budapest soon.

However, the planned meeting has since been postponed indefinitely.
Summary
The dialogue shows cautious optimism, yet the path to peace remains complex and demands further detailed negotiations, particularly on security measures.
Author’s summary: Despite difficulties, US and Russian talks show initial progress in managing Ukraine’s security protocols, though key meetings face delays.
