Quote: "We have agreed that Ukraine, Europe and America will meet in the near future.
I do not know where the meeting will be – in Europe, in the United States of America, or perhaps again – as I understood it, Steve liked our railways – so perhaps again in Ukraine. Well, we are open in any case."
Background:
- US presidential special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kyiv by train on 6 September and met with the Ukrainian president at Sofiiska Square. After a tour inside St Sophia Cathedral, they proceeded to negotiations.
- Zelenskyy said that three rounds of negotiations took place on 6 September in total, and all of them were "very substantive" and discussions covered possible parameters for ending the war and short-term support for Ukraine.
- In remarks to the press after the first round of negotiations, Kushner stated that Trump is firmly determined to bring an end to the war.
- On 5 September, the special envoys held negotiations in Moscow. Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian ruler, said Vladimir 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.
