A new round of negotiations involving the Ukrainian and Russian delegations will take place within three weeks and could potentially lead to a summit at the highest level.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said this in an interview with Fox News, Ukrinform reports.

"We're hopeful, Jared [Kushner] and I, that we've put some proposals on the table to both sides that will bring them together in the next three weeks and maybe even result in a summit between [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky and President Putin. It might end up being a trilateral at some point with President [Donald Trump]. We'll have to see," he said.

According to Witkoff, Trump does not want to attend a meeting unless he feels that he can achieve the best result.

Witkoff also expressed hope that the world could hear "good news" on this issue in the coming weeks.
