We heard new ideas,” Witkoff said, according to Ukrinform, 24 Channel and European Pravda. “You heard President Zelensky talk about trilateral negotiations, which we hope will be announced shortly. There were many other important, compelling ideas that we discussed in Moscow and that were presented here in Kyiv. We believe cooperation is critical.” Kushner, son-in-law to US President Donald Trump, described their meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday evening as “very constructive and substantive.” He noted that discussions examined why earlier peace formulas had stalled while exploring the foundational conditions required for an enduring settlement. “We really tried to think through what elements are needed for the durable peace we’ve been talking about,” Kushner said. “What Russia can get out of this, what Ukraine can get out of this, and what the world can get out of this. And it was a very good dialogue. We asked a lot of questions; he asked a lot of questions.”
