Details: Budanov reported on social media that Witkoff and Kushner have arrived in Kyiv, adding they are not the only negotiators to have come to the Ukrainian capital.

"Representatives of our European partners – France, the United Kingdom, and Germany – are also in Kyiv.

Together, we are all working to achieve a just and lasting peace for Ukraine," he wrote.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced at around 14:20 that negotiations with Witkoff and Kushner had begun.

Zelenskyy said earlier that Ukraine had made preparations to meet Witkoff and Kushner at the airport, but Russia had effectively prevented them from flying in. The previous day, 5 September, the special envoys held talks in Moscow.

Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Russian ruler Vladimir Putin, said Putin told the US envoys during Saturday's talks that he is confident his war aims will be achieved. The White House described the talks as "substantive" and announced that the next steps will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
