US and Ukrainian officials will begin a third straight day of talks in Miami on December 6, with senior Ukrainian and US negotiators jointly saying that "real progress" depends on Moscow's desire to end the war. "Both parties agreed that real progress toward any agreement depends on Russia's readiness to show serious commitment to long-term peace, including steps toward de-escalation and cessation of killings," said a US summary of the ongoing talks posted late on December 5.

REPORTER: So when it comes to ceding land to Russia, is that still on the table, or has that changed? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, they're talking about going land both ways and trying to clean up a border. You know, you can't go through the middle of a house. You can't get through the middle of the highway. So they're trying to work something. It's a complicated process. Doesn't go that quickly.

All issues concerning Europe, including those concerning NATO, have been removed from this plan

Under the sweeping 28-point plan backed by US President Donald Trump Ukraine would give up a swathe of eastern territory to Russia and slash the size of its army. Kyiv would also pledge never to join NATO, and would not get the Western peacekeepers they have called for, although European warplanes would be stationed in Poland to protect Ukraine. Russia would meanwhile be readmitted to the G8 group of nations and be rewarded with sanctions relief under the plan.
