Zelensky's Office Says Witkoff, Kushner Brought No New Proposals to Kiev, but Talks Revived
According to a report by Russian news agency TASS, an official from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office said that a recent visit did not yield fresh initiatives, though it reinvigorated the negotiation process.
Officials in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office believe that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner did not bring any new ideas during their recent visit to Kiev, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
TASS cited the head of the office, identified in its report as Kirill Budanov, who said that despite the absence of new proposals, the negotiation process had been revitalized as a result of the discussions.
The TASS report did not provide further details on the substance of the talks or specify what topics were discussed during the visit. It was not immediately clear from the report what the visit's stated purpose was or what outcomes, if any, were expected by either side.
TASS is a Russian state-owned news agency, and its characterization of the meeting and the statements attributed to Ukrainian officials could not be independently verified.
This report will be updated as more information becomes available.
