Kushner notes serious progress in Ukrainian settlement talks

Significant progress has been achieved over the past three days of Ukraine-themed negotiations, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner said.

"A tremendous amount of work has gone into restarting direct negotiations after many months. We have made meaningful progress in understanding both sides’ concerns, identifying possible solutions, and establishing a path forward," he wrote on the X social network. "Significant differences remain, but we are encouraged by the progress made."

"Today concluded three days of intense diplomacy aimed at ending the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine," Kushner said. In his words, after detailed trilateral negotiations with the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Abu Dhabi, he and special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to Moscow for direct discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, then to Dublin to meet with Vladimir Zelensky. "We concluded the day consulting with National Security Advisors from Ukraine, Germany, Italy, EU, France, Ireland, and Poland," he added.
