US envoys Witkoff and Kushner meet Zelensky in Kyiv in first Ukraine visit since February talks began
US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Kyiv on 6 September 2026 — their first visit to Ukraine since negotiations began in February 2025 — for three rounds of talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, a day after holding more than three hours of talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow. National security advisors from Germany, France and the United Kingdom joined the second round. The Americans publicly called for a return to a Ukraine-US-Russia trilateral format, but no concrete breakthrough was announced and sources briefed on the talks said the war is unlikely to end before winter.
