U.S., Ukrainian and European officials hold talks in Miami, urging diplomatic mediation to end Russia-Ukraine war

(Central News Agency, Miami Bell, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 9th) Officials from the United States, Ukraine and Europe met in Miami today to launch a new round of diplomatic mediation to end the war launched by Russia in Ukraine. Washington is trying to find a way out of this dangerous stalemate.

Agence France-Presse reported that US President Trump announced an agreement with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to increase diesel supplies, casting a shadow on the talks and highlighting that the war between Russia and Ukraine is now closely related to soaring energy prices.

Weikov said that participants included France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, collectively known as the "E3 countries", as well as the European Commission, Ukraine, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Weikov said the discussions covered energy resilience, grain exports, security guarantees and "long-term arrangements for Ukrainian and European security to prevent future conflicts."

He also mentioned that this "productive" exchange also discussed issues such as supporting Ukraine's post-war reconstruction and economic prosperity, including joining the European Union (EU).

Weikov did not say whether the parties would continue to meet tomorrow as originally planned.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned yesterday that the conflict has reached a stalemate that may break out. If a negotiated solution cannot be reached, the risk of further escalation will increase significantly.

"The other way to break the deadlock is to escalate," Rubio told reporters in Lisbon, warning that the conflict could spread to neighboring NATO countries.

"We do not believe there is a military solution to this conflict," Rubio added.

Trump blamed soaring fuel prices on Ukraine's attack on Russian refineries, even though the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran is the main source of disruption to global energy supplies.

After a phone call with Putin today, Trump said that Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets, and will provide another 500,000 tons in November.
