Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced his team is preparing for meetings with the envoys in both Kyiv and Moscow around September 5-6, but reports now say the Kyiv leg is uncertain after Witkoff grew wary due to Russian cautions.
This comes amid intensified Russian strikes on Kyiv, including drone hits on Zhulyany Airport and a fire at a Nova Poshta terminal, with thick smoke visible across the city. U.S. officials still aim for talks this weekend to end the war, discussing alternatives like train travel, while Zelenskyy's team maintains constant contact.
