Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes there is a “window of opportunity” to achieve a breakthrough before the end of 2026 in negotiations aimed at ending the war with Russia. He said on Wednesday upon his arrival in Ireland that he hoped US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff would return from their meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin with “concrete elements”, according to AFP.
Zelensky is due to meet the two US envoys on Thursday after their trip to Moscow. He will also take part in the European Political Community summit in Dublin, where he is due to participate in the opening plenary session, according to AFP.
The announcement comes on 11 November, after the Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi ended without a breakthrough. Zelensky arrived in Ireland after the discussions, where he had described the talks as “constructive”.
