US Envoy Witkoff Urges Russia and Ukraine to Compromise After Kyiv Talks

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has called on Russia and Ukraine to make compromises following his meeting with Ukrainian leadership in Kyiv, stating both parties must reduce their differences. Witkoff described the talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "very significant" and said the US is "very encouraged" and will continue discussions as long as necessary. Zelenskyy called the talks "extremely substantive" and agreed that Ukraine, Europe, and America will meet soon. A three-day pause in attacks on Moscow and Kyiv was agreed due to the negotiations. Zelenskyy also stressed the need for a winter package if the war continues, and Jared Kushner expressed hope for new paths toward a lasting peace.
