Sybiha on possible meeting with Witkoff, Kushner: Nothing ruled out, Ukraine ready for talks
The Ukrainian side is interested in resuming the trilateral negotiation format (Ukraine – the United States – Russia) and in maintaining the momentum of the peace process with U.S.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha indicated on the Yedyni Novyny telethon that his country is open to resuming trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia, as well as maintaining momentum in ongoing peace talks with U.S. involvement. When questioned about a possible meeting between Ukrainian and U.S. representatives in Brussels, Sybiha clarified that "nothing can be ruled out" and expressed readiness for such a meeting, provided a suitable time and place could be agreed upon.
The Ukrainian president's schedule was noted as a potential constraint. Earlier reports suggested that Ukrainian negotiators had extended an invitation to U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for a meeting in Brussels, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also anticipated to attend. President Zelenskyy announced this proposal on October 13 during a televised address.
