Ukraine has sent proposals for further talks to U.S. envoys Steve
Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Oct. 13.
“Our team sent the American side proposals for possible
future meetings and discussions,” Zelenskyy said in his evening address.
“We are ready to meet in the coming days, and I conveyed
this proposal to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.”
He said Ukrainian and U.S. officials continue to communicate
and seek paths toward peace.
“We must work for peace and seek options for the right
course of action,” the president added.
“Ukraine is ready for meetings. Ukraine supported the
American president on an energy cease-fire. Russia must also be part of this
agreement.”
Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine remains constructive and
that “our positions are always absolutely clear and aimed at protecting the
independence of the Ukrainian people.”
