Representatives of France, the United Kingdom and Germany arrived in Kyiv to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, in negotiations over the war in Ukraine.

Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ukrainian president’s office, said the American envoys had reached the capital but were not the only negotiators to arrive. “Representatives of our European partners, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, are also in Kyiv. Together, we are all working to achieve a just and lasting peace for Ukraine,” he wrote on social media.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced at about 14:20 that negotiations with Witkoff and Kushner had begun. Ukraine had previously said it was prepared to meet the envoys at the airport, but Russia effectively prevented them from flying to Kyiv.

The previous day, the two envoys held talks in Moscow. Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, said Putin told them he was confident Russia would achieve its war aims. The White House described the discussions as substantive and said the next steps would be announced in the coming weeks.

Representatives of our European partners, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, are also in Kyiv. Together, we are all working to achieve a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
