Diplomacy: Trump's envoys in Moscow and Kiev - no discernible success
The US negotiators view their talks in Moscow and Kyiv positively. But Zelensky is already thinking about winter. Because the war will continue for now.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have held talks in Moscow and Kyiv, but made no immediate progress towards ending the Ukraine war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the talks as "extremely substantive" but expressed little optimism, citing concerns that the war may drag on until winter. Kushner called for the resumption of trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US, while Zelensky joked that the presence of the US envoys had been more effective than Ukraine's Patriot air defense systems.
The talks were attended by security advisers from Germany, France, and the UK, and Zelensky said a meeting between Ukraine, Europe, and America would take place soon.
