Zelensky says talks with Russia possible, but only at leader level

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that resuming negotiations with Russia is possible, but key issues, including the territorial question, can only be resolved at the level of national leaders. Zelensky made the remarks during a press conference with US President Donald Trump's special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who visited Kyiv on September 6 after a trip to Moscow. He said the sides discussed ending the war, security guarantees, and Ukraine's economic future. The Ukrainian leader added that representatives of Europe will join the next round of talks, though the location has not yet been determined. He stressed that strong guarantees are needed to ensure the war does not return.
