Zelensky Engages U.S. Negotiators Amid Ongoing Ukraine Crisis and Russian Attacks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been actively engaging with U.S. negotiators, including Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as hostilities with Russia escalate, leaving half a million Ukrainian homes without power. With an ongoing dialogue regarding peace talks, Zelensky expressed readiness to negotiate and indicated that a trilateral meeting involving the U.S. and Russia could potentially be organized during the upcoming G20 summit. While Zelensky seeks further engagement with American representatives to address the conflict, he also warns against siding with Moscow amidst discussions about a new joint peace plan. The U.S. has resumed intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and plans for a meeting with Putin are under consideration, as both nations prepare for potential negotiations to end the conflict.
