Russia’s “enormous losses” “Russia’s gains are limited and come at the cost of enormous losses,” Zelensky said. He thanked Witkoff and Kushner, as well as Trump and the US, for their work toward peace. Zelensky said the teams would continue consultations to prepare the agenda and arrange future communication. The envoys’ visit has been on the horizon since July, when they reportedly agreed to travel to Kyiv for the first time, marking a significant shift in Washington’s diplomatic approach. The planned mission followed Zelensky’s meeting with Trump at the White House on July 28, where the two discussed Patriot interceptor production licenses and ways to deepen strategic and diplomatic efforts toward peace. Though both Witkoff and Kushner play central roles in Trump’s efforts to broker an end to Russia’s war, their diplomacy has included direct contact Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Ukraine’s position was largely discussed in meetings held outside the country.
