As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy briefed US President Donald Trump's special envoys following their recent trip to Moscow, the envoys now aim to visit Kyiv in the near future. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov made an unexpected appearance at a G20 finance meeting in North Carolina, causing some participants to express frustration due to the war with Ukraine.
Trump has confirmed that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Kyiv to discuss a peace plan, marking their first visit to Ukraine since taking significant roles in the administration's efforts to end Russia's invasion. As the situation in Ukraine remained relatively calm, diplomatic activity took center stage on August 31. Following a detailed and constructive call with the envoys, Zelenskyy urged Russia to end the war.
Meanwhile, Siluanov attended his first G20 gathering since the invasion, with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent holding bilateral talks on financial issues and interaction within the G20 framework.
