Zelensky Says He Spoke With U.S. Envoys Ahead of Trilateral Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that he had spoken with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, ahead of trilateral talks involving his country, the United States and Russia, according to a report by Ryan Mancini of The Hill.

The Hill reported that Zelensky said the three men spoke for 90 minutes in anticipation of the talks, which are slated to be held November 10 and 11.

The Hill's account, as summarized in the material available to this report, establishes the participants, the length of the call and the scheduled dates of the talks. It does not describe what the three discussed. The summary also cuts off mid-sentence while describing a further remark by Zelensky about the meeting, so that remark cannot be reported here.

According to The Hill, the report identifies Witkoff as a U.S. special envoy and Kushner as the president's son-in-law. The account of the call comes from Zelensky, and no other participant is quoted in the material available.

The Hill described the planned talks as trilateral, among Ukraine, the United States and Russia. The report does not give the agenda of those talks or their location.

No other source reviewed for this story addresses the call or the talks, and the report was published with a byline attributed to Ryan Mancini.
