Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he expects the war with Russia to continue into the winter, following a day of closed‑door negotiations in Kyiv with Donald Trump’s top envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The visit marked their first trip to Ukraine since Russia launched its full‑scale invasion and came just 24 hours after the pair held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Despite the high‑stakes diplomacy, the discussions ended without any major breakthrough. Witkoff described the talks as “substantive” and said he was “encouraged,” but Zelensky emphasised that Ukraine seeks a just peace one that leaves no room for renewed Russian aggression.
The meetings on Sunday stretched for several hours, with officials from both sides working behind closed doors. Zelensky later told reporters that Ukraine, Europe and the United States had agreed to convene again soon for further negotiations. He also called for a trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, Russia and the US, signalling Kyiv’s desire to widen the diplomatic table even as the conflict grinds on.
With winter approaching and no clear diplomatic breakthrough in sight, Zelensky’s remarks underscore the grim reality that Ukraine is preparing for yet another season of war. Please confirm details with trusted official sources as diplomatic discussions continue to evolve.
