Steve Witkoff to Meet Volodymyr Zelensky for Latest Ukraine War Talks

The US-led peace plan includes Kyiv's updated proposal with security guarantees and rapid EU accession by 2027, while European leaders press for progress in negotiations.

  • This weekend, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders in Berlin to press a U.S.-led peace proposal and discuss negotiations.
  • The U.S.-led 28-point proposal has prompted renewed diplomacy, as Kyiv officials recently sent Washington an updated plan reportedly including rapid European Union accession by January 2027 and demands for legally binding security guarantees.
  • Paris signalled resistance, with a French adviser telling reporters that `Kyiv was 'not considering' a deal on territories`, while Moscow's Yuri Ushakov warned `We have an impression that this version... will be worsened`.
  • Germany said it will host a leaders' gathering next Monday shortly after Zelensky attends a German-Ukrainian business forum with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, amid growing U.S. pressure for a negotiated settlement.
  • The Berlin talks could influence the war's course, as Moscow's suspicion about amendments complicates negotiations, with Russia holding a manpower advantage and registering its quickest advance in November, U.S. negotiator Witkoff said.
