US envoy Steve Witkoff said he and fellow emissary Jared Kushner held “important” talks Sunday with President Volodymyr Zelensky on ending the war with Russia – but offered no sign of a breakthrough. The envoys met with the Ukrainian leader on their first trip to Kyiv, a day after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s business ally, and Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, have been to Moscow several times, but had never held talks in the Ukrainian capital – hit by deadly Russian strikes for more than four years. “We’ve had a very meaningful discussion, substantive, important, and we are very encouraged and we look forward to continuing this as long as it takes,” Witkoff said after the talks. “Hopefully this trip has come out with some new ways to advance forward. I think we’ve learned a lot from the trip,” Kushner said after the meeting with Zelensky. Witkoff and Kushner travelled to the region hoping to revive the Trump administration’s push for peace in Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, after a summer of escalation. Another round of talks in the presence of British, French and German representatives was still ongoing. “We are grateful that the Europeans are with us today and that we are in such a coalition of countries,” Zelensky said.
