Zelenskyy says he had "substantive" phone call with U.S. special envoy Witkoff

Zelenskyy and US envoys focused on ending bloodshed and preventing further Russian invasion amid detailed negotiations on peace and reconstruction, officials said.

  • On Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had a very substantive and constructive call with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, joining from Kyiv while Rustem Umerov and Andriy Gnatov were in Miami.
  • Since Thursday, the two Americans have been meeting Ukraine's negotiators Rustem Umerov and Andriy Gnatov, with Steve Witkoff as US special envoy and Jared Kushner as Trump's son-in-law.
  • The call focused on security issues including measures to end bloodshed and remove the threat of a third Russian invasion, while addressing risks of Russia failing to fulfil promises.
  • Acknowledging limits of phone diplomacy, Zelenskyy called for detailed team follow-up, saying Ukraine's negotiating teams agreed next steps with the American side since `We cannot discuss everything over the phone`.
  • With talks under way, leaders plan a London meeting on Monday to take stock as the initial US plan released two weeks ago was revised after Kyiv and its European allies criticized its alignment with Russia's hard-line positions.
