Summary
Over the next few weeks, Ukraine, France, Germany and the UK will jointly draft terms for possible peace talks with Russia, according to an Élysée source after 6 September talks in Kyiv.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner told European and Ukrainian officials that Moscow could become more willing to negotiate after Russia's State Duma elections, prompting preparations for a fresh round of talks.
The Europeans said they had already coordinated with Kyiv on key demands, including security guarantees, Ukrainian territory, sanctions and other conditions for what they called a strong and lasting peace.
At the 6 September meeting, the US side did not spell out what negotiation parameters Russia had accepted, leaving France, Germany, the UK and Ukraine to refine a clearer common position before another Ukraine-US-Europe meeting.
