US envoy Jared Kushner said the American delegation in Kyiv expects 'further progress' in talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war, according to N12. The statement came after the first round of discussions, which US envoy Steve Witkoff described as 'very encouraging' and 'substantive and important'.
The remarks follow the first in-person meeting between US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv earlier Sunday, as The Zioneer reported. Kushner's optimistic assessment — along with Witkoff's characterization of the talks as 'very encouraging' and 'substantive' — reflects the Trump administration's continued diplomatic push to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. The envoys previously engaged in preliminary talks in Moscow, during which Russia observed a three-day pause in strikes on Kyiv, as The Zioneer reported on September 5. It remains unclear whether further rounds have been scheduled.
