GermanyThe U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff called on Russia and Ukraine to reach compromises to find a way out of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to AFP, Witkoff stated during a press conference in Kyiv that both parties need to make concessions and resolve their differences. He emphasized that the U.S. seeks a diplomatic rather than military solution. His colleague Jared Kushner expressed hope for a return to a trilateral format involving Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S., while noting that future agreements should prevent further war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was less optimistic, suggesting the conflict might continue into winter and expressing a need for a 'winter package.' He humorously noted that the presence of Witkoff and Kushner worked better than the Patriot missile systems.
