Ukraine Seeks Peace Talks in U.S.
A group from Ukraine went to the United States to talk about ending a war that has been going on for almost four years.
They are meeting with important people from the U.S. to discuss how to make the war stop and how to rebuild Ukraine after the war.
The talks are happening in Miami, and Ukraine wants to get promises of help and support from their allies.
At the same time, Russia is attacking Ukraine's power plants, making it hard for people to have electricity and heat in the cold weather.
Ukraine hopes to sign some important agreements with the United States soon, but Russia needs to be consulted on these proposals.
The U.S. president has been trying to get both sides to make peace, but so far, they haven't been able to agree on anything.
Ukrainian delegation arrives in the U.S. for talks on ending the war with Russia.
Meetings will be held in Miami with U.S. representatives including Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Daniel Driscoll.

Talks occur just days before the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion.
Ukrainian President Zelensky hopes to sign agreements with the United States next week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
