Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he expects the war with Russia to continue into the winter, following talks with Donald Trump’s top envoys in Kyiv.
The discussions finished without an announcement of a major breakthrough, after Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner travelled to Ukraine for the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion. The previous day, the pair had held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Witkoff said he was “encouraged” by what he called “substantive” and important talks in Kyiv. Zelensky stressed that he wanted a just peace with no opportunity for renewed aggression by Russia.

Two US envoys are hoping for “equally productive meetings” in Ukraine after holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on ending the war, US officials say.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to land in Kyiv on Sunday, the first trip by US President Donald Trump’s top negotiators to Ukraine’s capital.
They discussed “substantive plans for next steps” with Putin on Saturday according to the White House, and an announcement is expected in the coming weeks, as efforts to end the war in Ukraine gather pace.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was ready for “a substantive conversation” as Witkoff and Kushner were negotiating at the Kremlin, with talks lasting three hours in Putin’s official residence on Saturday.

US President Donald Trump said the United States has carried out a new wave of strikes on Iran, in response to attempted Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and against US service personnel stationed in the Middle East.
Ahead of the strikes, the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had said his country was willing to return to the conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the US and Iran in June.
Those comments came as Pezeshkian met with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan. The Iranian president told his Russian counterpart that together their two countries could resist what he called “US unilateralism”.
