Zelenskiy seeks new talks with US envoys on ending Russia war
Oct 13 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday he had proposed new talks in the coming days with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as Washington steps up efforts to bring Kyiv and Moscow back to negotiations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy proposed new talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in the coming days, as reported by Reuters on October 13. The proposal comes after talks in the United States last week where Witkoff and Kushner informed a Ukrainian delegation that a deal allowing Russian diesel exports was meant to bring Moscow back to negotiations.
During his nightly video address, Zelenskiy stated that Ukraine backs President Donald Trump’s proposed energy truce, provided Russia adheres to it. The Ukrainian team has forwarded the American side with relevant proposals for potential upcoming meetings and conversations. Zelenskiy has passed this proposal on to Witkoff and Kushner through his team, expressing readiness to meet in the coming days.
