Ukraine team to hold peace talks with Trump envoys in US
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Kyiv's negotiators will hold talks with US President Donald Trump's envoys in the United States today and tomorrow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that his negotiators will hold peace talks with US President Donald Trump's envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, in the United States for two days. The Ukrainian negotiating team will also be joined by a European team. Ukrainian officials including Kyrylo Budanov, Rustem Umerov, Sergiy Kyslytsya, and David Arakhamia will participate in the talks in Florida.
The talks come after a Russian strike on buses in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, which killed 30 people. US-led peace efforts have been stalled, but US officials stated they are making a fresh effort in an enlarged format following recent visits to Moscow and Kyiv. The US aims to revive peace efforts by brokering a new round of talks with Ukraine and Russia by the end of October.
Previous rounds of talks have failed to achieve tangible progress, as Moscow has been unwilling to accept Russia's maximalist conditions for ending the conflict.
