American envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left the Ukrainian capital after talks in Moscow and Kyiv. Washington continues to hope for direct talks between Russia and Ukraine, which could bring a solution to the war closer. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Witkoff, special envoy of American President Donald Trump, and Kushner held talks in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Previously, they also conducted talks in Moscow. After the meetings, however, no breakthrough was apparent and it remains unclear what peace settlement proposals the American mediators presented to both sides.
Ukrainian railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia announced that the pair left Kyiv by train. Zelensky acted cautiously after the talks and took a pessimistic stance toward the possibility of quickly reaching peace with Russia. At the same time, uncertainty continues regarding the further development of the war and the diplomatic process.
The next steps will depend on whether it is possible to create space for direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv. The United States is trying to act as a mediator, but after the current series of meetings, it remains unclear whether either side will agree to a specific framework for peace talks.
