The discussions held by US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were concluded on Sunday evening in Kiev with Ukrainian officials led by President Volodymyr Zelensky, after two rounds of discussion, followed by a third round of negotiations in the presence of European representatives. After the conclusion of the talks, Witkov thanked the Ukrainian president for his country's hospitality and expressed his confidence in reaching a good solution. Speaking about his previous diplomatic visits to Russia, Witkopf said: “It is very unlikely to reach a peaceful solution” in the absence of relations with both sides of the conflict.
