Trump advisers meet Putin envoy in Paris to discuss Ukraine strategy
President Trump’s advisers, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, met on Wednesday in Paris with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to discuss the U.S. plan for peace in Ukraine. The meeting came after the U.S. and Ukraine had reportedly reached an agreement on nearly all aspects of Trump’s proposal, with the White House seeking a clear response from Russian President Vladimir Putin. So far, Putin has given no public indication that he is ready to agree to or seriously consider the plan.
The Paris meeting followed two days of intensive negotiations in which Witkoff and Kushner met with senior Ukrainian and European officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of the U.K., France, and Germany. Talks centered on security guarantees for Ukraine and potential territorial concessions in the eastern Donbas region. Zelensky said Thursday that the U.S.-Ukraine security guarantees agreement is “essentially ready for finalization at the highest level” with Trump. Ukrainian officials indicated that the U.S. will now engage directly with Russia regarding the proposal. Zelensky added that pressure on Russia must continue alongside ongoing diplomatic efforts. Discussions are underway for a possible meeting between Zelensky and Trump next week in the U.S. or during the World Economic Forum in Davos to finalize the security guarantees deal.
