Envoys from the United States presented new peace proposals to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday, September 6, 2026, following discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow the previous day. The diplomatic initiative, involving U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, aims to revive stalled peace talks in the ongoing conflict. European representatives from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany joined expanded talks in the Ukrainian capital on the same day. During their visit to Moscow on Saturday, September 5, Witkoff and Kushner met with President Putin. Russian officials described the three-hour meeting as "constructive" and "extremely frank," noting that discussions covered settlement proposals and potential bilateral commercial projects.
