Trump envoy: Zelensky must ‘make compromises’ with Putin

- US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday, Sept. 5, before traveling to Kyiv to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, Sept. 6.
- Special envoy Witkoff has met Putin approximately eight times during US peace efforts and defended maintaining direct contact, arguing that resolving conflict requires narrowing communication gaps between both sides.
- At a press conference Sunday, Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Gordon challenged Witkoff on meeting a leader accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, though Witkoff did not answer directly.
- Zelensky described his discussions with the envoys as "very substantial" and stated Ukraine is prepared to move toward trilateral negotiations involving Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow.
- Despite Witkoff claiming they "have always received respect from President Putin," critics note these meetings have not halted Russian strikes, which have continued since January 2025.
