Zelensky Says Russia-Ukraine War Likely to Last Through Winter

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that the war with Russia will likely continue into winter, following talks with US envoys in Kyiv. No breakthroughs were announced. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Kyiv after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, marking their first trip to the Ukrainian capital. Zelensky said Ukraine would hold further talks with the US, France, and Germany, and reiterated that only a leaders' meeting could solve territorial issues. Witkoff said both sides would need to compromise, while a White House official mentioned "substantive plans" to be announced in coming weeks. Russia and Ukraine vowed not to strike each other's capitals during the visit, though fighting continued elsewhere with overnight drone and missile attacks reported.
