Zelensky meets Witkoff and Kushner after Ukraine talks in Kyiv
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is holding a one-on-one meeting with US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner following delegation talks and a summary press conference, according to RBC-Ukraine citing a source. At the press conference, Kushner said ending Russia's war against Ukraine by winter is not guaranteed, though the US is working to create conditions for it. Zelensky stated Ukraine is ready to return to trilateral negotiations, while Kushner expressed hope the US-Ukraine-Russia format would resume soon. Zelensky also announced a Ukraine-Europe-US meeting in coming weeks. Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Ukraine on September 6 for their first visit, having met with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow the previous day. Kushner said President Trump seeks not just ending the war but lasting peace.
