Author Job TV Network World As diplomatic efforts continue to end the Russia-Ukraine war, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, envoys of Donald Trump, traveled to Kyiv after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The meeting focused on ending the war, security guarantees and support for Ukraine. Witkoff described the talks in Moscow and Kyiv as positive and said the United States is seeking a diplomatic solution to end the war. Steve Witkoff said: "The President asked Jared and I to come here and to restart conversations, negotiations, because this is so important to him. And at his behest, at the behest of the Vice President and the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, we came here and I think we really feel good about what has happened in the conversations in Moscow and now the conversations here." Jared Kushner, Trump’s envoy, also expressed hope that further progress could be made between Russia and Ukraine. He proposed resuming trilateral talks among Russia, Ukraine and the United States. Kushner said: "One thing Steve and I really thought would be productive is to go back to the trilateral format, which we were able to do, about six months ago. And we spoke with both parties and so hopefully we'll have progress on that very soon." Meanwhile, Zelenskyy said Ukraine wants the war to end but needs security guarantees to achieve peace. He stressed that Ukraine’s proposals for negotiations are ready and that the talks should be serious, coordinated and realistic. Zelenskyy also said that if the war continues into the winter, Ukraine will need support from the United States and Europe, particularly in air defense and energy. During his meeting with Trump’s envoys, the Ukrainian president said: "Today,  you (Kushner and Witkoff) worked even better than Patriot systems for our citizens who are in the capital. Thank you, come more often. And we will have the opportunity, our people will have the opportunity, to live a little. And we agreed that in the near future, Ukraine, Europe and America will meet." Further meetings involving security officials from Germany, France and the United Kingdom are also expected to take place soon. Zelenskyy expressed hope that trilateral talks among Ukraine, Russia and the United States would also resume.
