Zelenskyy Discusses Peace with US Envoys Witkoff and Kushner
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a 'fruitful and important' conversation with US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about injecting new momentum into stalled peace negotiations to end the war with Russia. Zelenskyy emphasized Ukraine's readiness for a 'peace with dignity' and said teams from both countries remain in close contact. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is scheduled to meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday in Manila, Philippines, on the sidelines of the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting, with the Ukraine and Iran wars expected to be the main topics. The negotiations, which have been mediated by the US, remain deadlocked as Moscow demands Ukrainian withdrawal from the entire Donetsk region, a condition Kyiv rejects. The war has continued for over four years with daily drone and missile attacks, while Ukraine has recently intensified counterattacks targeting Russian energy infrastructure and logistics.
