Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Kyiv "very substantive," covering security guarantees, economic assurances, air defense missiles, and a winter support package. The three-hour meeting included a working lunch, with Witkoff stating both sides must make compromises and that he hopes for a diplomatic resolution. Zelensky expressed hope that trilateral talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and the US would resume soon.
