Witkoff and Kushner complete Moscow-to-Kyiv peace mission and signal possible new trilateral talks
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner moved from more than three hours of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to several hours of talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other officials in Kyiv. On September 6, Reuters reported that the envoys said they had heard unspecified “new ideas” in Moscow and hoped a new U.S.-mediated Ukraine-Russia round could be announced soon. Ukraine said it was ready for trilateral talks and discussed air-defense and energy support, security and economic guarantees, and a post-war prosperity plan. No ceasefire, territorial settlement, security-guarantee package, or peace agreement was announced.
