A delegation of senior Ukrainian government officials is travelling to the U.S. for talks with their American counterparts on Sunday about a proposed peace plan to end the war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on X on Saturday that Rustem Umerov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, will lead the delegation.

Umerov’s appointment comes after Zelenskyy fired his top adviser Andriy Yermak on Friday following a raid on Yermak’s home by Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdog. Yermak was the key interlocutor with Kyiv’s Western allies and was widely seen as the second-most powerful man in the Ukrainian government.

“The task is clear: to swiftly and substantively work out the steps needed to end the war,” Zelenskyy said. “Ukraine continues to work with the United States in the most constructive way possible.”

 The Ukrainian officials are expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner in Florida, Bloomberg reported.

Witkoff, who is expected in Moscow next week for talks with Russian officials, has been in the center of a media storm after Bloomberg published a transcript revealing that he had been coaching a Kremlin high official on how to approach talks with Trump.

The planned talks in Florida come after the Trump administration put forward a 28-point peace plan that has been criticized by Ukraine and European allies for being too favorable to Russia. The proposal as it was originally presented included significant territorial concessions on the part of Ukraine, including the Donbas region, and would also limit the size of Ukraine’s military.

The U.S. president has said that the peace plan was not a “final offer” and that there remained room for negotiations.

“Ukraine continues to work with the United States in the most constructive way possible, and we expect that the results of the meetings in Geneva will now be hammered out in the United States,” Zelenskyy said in his post on Saturday.

Ukraine’s head of intelligence Kyrylo Budanov, as well as the chief of staff of Ukraine’s armed forces, Andrii Hnatov, are also part of the delegation sent to the U.S. for Sunday’s talks.
