A new meeting involving Ukraine, Europe and the United States could take place in the coming weeks after talks in Kyiv between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, and security advisers from Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

“We have agreed that Ukraine, Europe and the U.S. will meet soon,” Zelenskyy said at a joint news conference with the two American negotiators. He later said the meeting could be held within the next few weeks. Kushner said the U.S. would continue working with Kyiv and the European capitals to find ways to move the peace process forward.

We have agreed that Ukraine, Europe and the U.S. will meet soon.

· Volodymyr ZelenskyyThe Ukrainian president announced plans for another meeting after talks in Kyiv.

Kushner and Witkoff made their first visit to Kyiv after arriving from Moscow. During the meetings, they briefed Ukrainian officials on what Russian President Vladimir Putin had told them the previous day.

Kushner said Putin had certain objectives and expressed what he wanted to achieve. He added that Russia also had aspirations that could be fulfilled after the war ends, possibly referring to Moscow’s demand that the United States resume business with Russia as it did before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Kushner also said Putin was willing to continue the dialogue.

From President Putin’s perspective, I think he has certain objectives. He expresses what he wants to achieve, but obviously he has some aspirations for his country that can also be achieved when this is over.

· Jared KushnerKushner described what the U.S. envoys said Putin communicated during their Moscow talks.

The discussions covered ending the war, security guarantees and Ukraine’s economic viability after a peace agreement. Zelenskyy also raised assistance for the coming winter. He said Ukraine would receive additional air-defense capabilities, especially ballistic missiles, as well as energy-system support and “a considerable volume of liquefied natural gas from the U.S.” if the war continued into winter.

Neither Zelenskyy nor the American negotiators announced a specific agreement with Russia after the round of contacts in Moscow and Kyiv.
