U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff announced on Monday “substantial progress” in efforts to resume negotiations aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, following his visits to Moscow and Kyiv. Witkoff said progress had been made toward organizing new trilateral talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine.
Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday and traveled to Kyiv on Sunday, where they held talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Representatives of France, the United Kingdom and Germany also took part in the meetings in the Ukrainian capital.
The U.S. administration’s objective is to revive the diplomatic process to halt the Russian invasion, which began in February 2022. Steve Witkoff said Donald Trump was making efforts to end the conflict and secure lasting peace.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine was preparing the next stages of the negotiations and that its proposals remained constructive. A Ukrainian official said new proposals had been presented to the U.S. envoys, but the details were not made public. At the same time, Zelenskyy suggested that the war could continue through this winter.
The Kremlin did not rule out resuming trilateral negotiations but said it was too early to set a date and location for any potential talks. Previous rounds of negotiations in 2025 produced no concrete results.เทomacutter
