“The task is clear: to swiftly and substantively work out the steps needed to end the war,” Zelenskyy stated. “Ukraine continues to work with the United States in the most constructive way possible.”
Ukrainian officials are set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner in Florida, Bloomberg reported.
Witkoff, expected in Moscow next week for talks with Russian officials, has been at the center of a media storm after Bloomberg released a transcript revealing that he had been coaching a Kremlin high official on how to approach talks with Trump.
The planned talks in Florida follow the Trump administration’s proposal of a 28-point peace plan, criticized by Ukraine and European allies for being too favorable to Russia. The original proposal included significant territorial concessions from Ukraine, such as the Donbas region, and would also limit Ukraine’s military size.
The U.S. president stated that the peace plan was not a “final offer,” indicating that there was room for negotiations.
“We expect that the results of the meetings in Geneva will now be hammered out in the United States,” Zelenskyy stated in his post on Saturday.
