The conversation came a day after Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Kyiv for talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday. The back-to-back meetings marked Washington’s latest effort to revive negotiations that had stalled despite several previous rounds of US-mediated diplomacy. Witkoff and Kushner said after their meetings that they were encouraged by new ideas raised during the talks and hoped another round of trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia and the US could be announced soon. Zelensky described his discussions with the American delegation as “very substantive,” saying they covered not only the diplomatic process but also security guarantees and Ukraine’s military and energy needs ahead of winter.
