The talks are taking place following the arrival of Witkoff and Kushner in Kyiv. The U.S. representatives arrived in the Ukrainian capital today and were spotted at Kyiv Central Station. For both, this is their first visit to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The meeting is taking place amid active contacts between Ukraine and the U.S. regarding a possible end to the war. The U.S. side is participating in diplomatic negotiations and is trying to help find ways to end the hostilities. Earlier, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine expects to have the most constructive and substantive discussions possible with the U.S. side.
The Ukrainian president also emphasized that Kyiv is ready to work toward ending the war, but this requires clear terms for a future peace and reliable security guarantees. On the eve of the meeting, Zelenskyy held a meeting with the Ukrainian negotiating team. He stated that Ukraine’s positions are prepared, and that during the negotiations it is important to act in a coordinated, substantive, and realistic manner. “Ukraine has always been and will always be constructive. We are interested in bringing the war to an end. Peace is needed. Security guarantees are needed. A dignified post-war peace is needed,” Zelenskyy noted.
Therefore, the current meeting is intended to be a continuation of these diplomatic contacts. However, the specific agenda for the talks has not yet been officially released. Among the key issues that may be discussed are a possible end to the war, the terms of a future peace, and security guarantees for Ukraine. However, without official statements from the parties, it is impossible to say exactly which agreements or proposals are currently on the table.
