WASHINGTON \u2014 Special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will brief Ukraine\u2019s lead negotiator Thursday in Miami after Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on Tuesday rejected the latest 19-point peace plan hammered out with Kyiv officials in Geneva last week.<\/p>\n

The US officials invited Kyiv\u2019s national security adviser Rustem Umerov to Florida for discussions after leaving their Tuesday meeting with Putin at the Kremlin without an agreement in hand, a senior US official told The Post on Wednesday, noting that Umerov accepted the invitation.<\/p>\n

Witkoff and Kushner will go over the latest Russian demands discussed in their five-hour Moscow meeting and seek to make progress on sealing a deal to end the war.<\/p>\n

Putin aide Yuri Ushakov on Tuesday claimed the Russians and Americans discussed four different versions of a peace plan \u2014 none of which included the Moscow-leaning 28-point plan initially reported by Axios.<\/p>\n

Despite those marathon discussions, Ushakov said that \u201cno compromise option has yet been found.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the American proposals appear more or less acceptable. They do, nevertheless, require further discussion,\u201d Ushakov told reporters at the Kremlin. \u201cCertain wording we have been offered is not suitable for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, the work will continue. This is indeed one of the most crucial issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s US-Ukraine meeting comes after timing didn\u2019t work out for Witkoff and Kushner to stop in Europe to brief Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky before returning to DC from Moscow.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Kremlin visit, the Ukrainian and US officials had discussed a possible meet-up to debrief on their way home, but that had changed by the time negotiations ended Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did not promise us that they would travel to Kiev; they promised that they would go back home, to Washington, where they belong. Something like that,\u201d Ushakov told Russian reporters.<\/p>\n

Asked whether Russia influenced Kushner and Witkoff\u2019s decision not to stop first to debrief Zelensky, the senior US official said the meeting was unconfirmed and \u201cultimately, it was not feasible with timing.\u201d<\/p>\n
