Witkoff Touts ‘Substantive Progress’ After Peace Talks with Ukraine, Russia
The visit gave Kyiv a brief reprieve as Ukraine seeks more air defenses before winter and both sides try to restart talks.
- On their first official wartime visit, President Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff traveled to Kyiv on Sunday to restart peace talks after three hours of discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday.
- President Trump wants to end the war as soon as possible, and despite the White House focusing on Iran since February, Ukrainian officials maintained communication with Trump's team throughout the conflict.
- Zelenskyy praised the "very substantive" conversation and said Ukraine was ready for trilateral talks. Witkoff told reporters, "We made a lot of progress in Moscow," adding he was "very encouraged" by conversations with the Ukrainian team.
- While the visit produced no immediate breakthrough, Zelenskyy continues pressing for air defense supplies as Ukraine faces another brutal winter with expected Russian airstrikes on its energy grid.
- Witkoff told reporters the visit "reminded me of my days taking the train to see my grandmother down to Florida," while Zelenskyy urged the envoys to return frequently so residents could "live a little.
