Volodymyr Zelenskyy has laid out a series of meetings in Kyiv that will begin with US President Donald Trump’s special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, followed by discussions with representatives from France, the United Kingdom and Germany.

“There will be one session, a conversation with Witkoff and Kushner, then there will be another session with European national security advisers. Several important sessions,” Zelenskyy said in a brief comment before the meetings, as reported by European Pravda.

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

The meetings in Kyiv followed talks the envoys held in Moscow on September 5. Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Vladimir Putin, said the Russian leader told the US representatives that he was confident Russia’s war aims would be achieved.

The White House described the Moscow talks as substantive and said it would announce the next steps in the coming weeks.
