Quote: "We have agreed that Ukraine, Europe and America will meet in the near future.
I don't know where the meeting will be – in Europe, in the United States, or perhaps again – as I understood it, Steve liked our railways – so perhaps again in Ukraine. Well, we are open [to that] in any case."
Background:
- US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kyiv by train on 6 September and were met by President Zelenskyy at Sofiiska Square. After a tour of St Sophia Cathedral, they proceeded to the negotiations.
- Zelenskyy said there were three rounds of talks on 6 September in total, and all of them were "very substantive". The discussions covered possible parameters for ending the war and short-term support for Ukraine.
- Kushner said in a press conference after the first round of talks that US President Donald Trump is very determined to see an end to the war.
- On 5 September, the special envoys held negotiations 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.
