US envoys Witkoff and Kushner hold three rounds of talks in Kyiv after Moscow meeting with Putin
US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on September 6 after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow the previous day. Three rounds of negotiations took place — first bilaterally with Ukraine, then in an expanded format with national security advisers from the UK, France, and Germany — covering ending the war, territorial questions, security guarantees, and a Ukrainian "winter package" of air defense, energy and LNG support. Zelensky said all three rounds were substantive and that the parties agreed to repeat the meeting format in the near future.
