Zelensky: War Likely to Continue Into Winter; Kyiv Discusses Support Package With US, EU

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the war is currently expected to continue into winter, with Ukraine already discussing a winter support package with the US and European partners. Zelensky made the remarks after three rounds of "very substantive" negotiations in Kyiv with US special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The proposed package would cover air defense, energy support, and potential use of American LNG. No agreement has been reached to end the war, and territorial issues remain unresolved. Zelensky said such complex matters should be addressed at the leadership level, while Ukraine also discusses economic guarantees for reconstruction.
