Ukraine war: No progress on Kushner and Witkoff visit to Kiev
US negotiators talked about a possible ceasefire in Moscow and Kiev. Expectations were low - because Putin rejects a truce.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kyiv on Sunday by train, known as the "Peace Express". They were greeted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Sophienkathedrale, after which they had a tour of the site and then held talks. Witkoff described the discussion as "encouraging", but no concrete progress was announced.
The national security advisors of Germany, France, and the UK were also in Kyiv and were briefed afterwards. The meeting follows Witkoff and Kushner's talks with Russian President Wladimir Putin and the Kremlin leadership in Moscow on Saturday.
