Zelenskyy says talks with Trump envoys produced several new negotiation ideas

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says talks in Kyiv with US envoys and Ukraine's European partners produced several new ideas for the next stage of negotiations. He said the ideas still need to be examined before the parties can determine whether they could bring Ukraine closer to peace.

“As I told you, we met, and I think in the coming weeks we will have an opportunity, Ukraine, America and Europe, to discuss certain details that we would rather not say aloud today,” Zelenskyy told journalists, according to a European Pravda correspondent.

The Ukrainian president stressed the need for tangible progress. “We want results, concrete developments,” he said. He added that the new ideas had been discussed, but their details and possible steps required further analysis.

“Everything must be done to ensure trilateral meetings take place, or trilateral meetings plus our European partners,” Zelenskyy said.

The talks brought together Zelenskyy, US presidential special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and national security advisers from France, Britain and Germany. Zelenskyy said the participants agreed to meet again in the same format in the near future.

There were several genuinely new ideas. We have discussed them.

He said three rounds of talks had taken place on September 6 and described all of them as “very substantive”. The discussions addressed possible parameters for ending the war and short-term support for Ukraine.
