Zelenskyy, Trump's envoys discuss Ukraine visit and peace efforts
Zelenskyy says the sides are working to set the agenda for a planned Kyiv visit as peace talks continue and Russia’s battlefield gains remain limited.
- On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy held a "detailed and constructive" call with U.S. President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, working to finalize dates for their visit to Ukraine to advance peace efforts.
- This planned mission follows Zelenskiy's July 28 meeting with Trump at the White House, where the two discussed Patriot production and deepened diplomatic efforts toward ending the war.
- "There needs to be the right mood in Moscow," Zelenskiy said, noting that intelligence indicates Russian President Vladimir Putin personally still wants war despite Russia's sparse gains and enormous losses.
- Shortly after the diplomatic contact, Russia conducted a test of a nuclear-capable missile, while The Economist reported that Putin is preparing to escalate by sending up to 400,000 additional troops.
- Authorities are prioritizing winter preparations by ensuring heating and water networks can operate autonomously, with more than 100,000 residential buildings already prepared for expected Russian strikes.
