Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top Ukrainian officials in central Kyiv on Sunday. Kushner and Witkoff travelled from Moscow after meeting with Putin.
President Zelenskyy has said a window of opportunity to make peace exists before the U.S. begins focusing on its next presidential election.
The first round of talks between Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators lasted about three hours.
“Substantive, important, and we are very encouraged,” Witkoff told reporters after the talks, which also included a working lunch.
