Zelensky announces new meeting with Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a new meeting with US President Donald Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, on Saturday, October 17. Zelensky said that on October 16, Ukraine's foreign intelligence chief Rustem Umerov contacted US officials, including Kushner, to arrange the meeting. He expressed readiness to meet and hoped to find a format this week, noting a planned Brussels meeting failed due to the US side's scheduling issues. Witkoff and Kushner first visited Kyiv on September 6, and a subsequent meeting in Miami on October 9 ended early after Trump announced a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin. Ukraine supports all dialogue and ceasefire formats.
