Trump Envoys in Kyiv Push for Lasting Peace, Not Just Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump's special envoy Jared Kushner stated in Kyiv that the administration seeks not just a ceasefire but conditions for a lasting peace in Ukraine, with talks held alongside Steve Witkoff. The comments came during meetings with the Ukrainian side. Kushner described the war as a "very complex problem" requiring agreements on mechanisms to ensure durable stability, not merely an end to hostilities. He said Trump wants to see an end to suffering for families and children, while focusing on investment and business opportunities to bring countries closer together. The American side emphasized that economic development should help Ukraine utilize its potential after the war and foster closer ties with European nations. Kushner noted Trump believes complex problems require full commitment to their resolution.
