President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that during a meeting with envoys of the US President and European partners in Kyiv, several new ideas for the peace negotiation process were proposed. Zelensky announced while communicating with journalists, reports "European Pravda".

"As I told you, we met, and I think in the coming weeks we will have an opportunity: Ukraine – America – Europe, to discuss some details that we don't want to say out loud today," he said.

He added that there were indeed several new ideas that were discussed.

Zelensky emphasized that these ideas need to be analyzed, "to understand what the details are, what steps can be taken, and whether this will bring us closer to peace".

Furthermore, he stated that after the negotiations in Kyiv with the participation of the Ukrainian side, Trump's special envoys, and national security advisors from the "Euro-three" countries, there is an agreement to repeat the meeting in this format in the near future.

Zelensky also sharedthat a total of three rounds of negotiations took place on September 6, and all of them were "very substantive"; they discussed possible parameters for ending the war and short-term support for Ukraine.

The President joked that the presence of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Kyiv "worked better than Patriot systems" and expressed a wish for them to visit more often so that ordinary Ukrainians would have the opportunity to "live a little" without Russian shelling.

He noted that Kyiv is counting on air defense, energy support, and the possibility of using American liquefied natural gas.

Regarding the territorial issue, he said it was also discussed, but in his opinion, such complex issues are resolved only at the leaders' level.

According to him, they also talked about security guarantees, economic guarantees, reconstruction, and a "prosperity plan" for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump's special representative Steve Witkoff statedthat the task of the American delegation, which visited Kyiv and Moscow over the last two days, was to "bring the parties closer".

"Both sides have to come to an agreement, and my task, as well as Jared's, was to bring the parties closer, reduce the differences between them, establish effective channels of communication, and hopefully, we have constructively started this process in the last 48 hours, and we are confident that a successful solution will be found here"," Trump's negotiator added.

We remind you that today, US President's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kyiv. Yesterday, they visited Moscow, where they held a meeting with Putin.
