Ukraine’s Zelensky holds ‘very substantive’ call with Trump envoys

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that he and his negotiators who are discussing a US-led plan for Ukraine had a “very substantive and constructive” call with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

“Ukraine is committed to continuing to work honestly with the American side to bring about real peace,” Zelensky said on Telegram as the third day of the talks were to be held in Florida.

“We agreed on the next steps and the format of the talks with America,” he added.

Zelensky, who was in Kyiv, joined the call with top Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov and Andriy Gnatov, the chief of staff of Kyiv’s armed forces, both of whom were in Miami for the talks with the US side.

The two Americans – Witkoff, who is US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, and Kushner, who is Trump’s son-in-law – had been meeting with Umerov and Gnatov since Thursday.
