Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday, Sept. 6 — their first trip to Ukraine since the war began, and the highest-level US visit of Trump's second term — a day after more than three hours with Vladimir Putin in Moscow produced no announced breakthrough. No map, no sanctions terms and no security-guarantee structure were disclosed; a White House official said substantive plans would be announced "in the coming weeks."
