Top Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov wrote on Telegram, "We agreed with our American partners on further steps and on continuing our joint work in the near future.” White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, held talks in Berlin with Ukrainian and European officials earlier this week.
Umerov wrote on Telegram earlier that Ukraine's aim was to secure long-term security.
Witkoff and Kushner also plan to meet a Russian delegation in Miami this weekend, a White House official said.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that he might join a portion of talks on Ukraine on Saturday, as he said that progress has been made in discussions to end the conflict but there is still a way to go.
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered no compromise on Friday on his terms for ending the conflict in Ukraine, saying the onus was on Ukraine and Europe to make the next move.
