Negotiations in Kiev — idle conversation, Banking does not solve anything — opinion — EADaily, September 6th, 2026 — Politics, Russia

Negotiations in Kiev are an idle conversation, Banking does not solve anything. This was stated in his telegram channel by military correspondent Alexander Kots. This is how he commented on today's visit to the capital of Ukraine by representatives of US President Donald Trump — Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who met with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow the day before. As the military correspondent noted, European advisers found themselves in Kiev before Trump's envoys, so that "the ward, God forbid, does not nod in the wrong place." Kotz admits that he has no illusions about Washington — "it has its own game, and in this game Russia is definitely not a friend." However, in his opinion, Donald Trump has a clear interest — "to close someone else's war and record it as an asset to himself." And London, Paris and Berlin are interested in the fact that the war continues — and preferably away from the borders of Britain, France and Germany. "So I would rewrite the route of the special envoys. Moscow — there is something to talk about. Kiev is a courtesy call. And then Downing Street, the Elysee Palace and Berlin. Because negotiations are conducted with those who decide. In the meantime, the conversation is in In Kiev, it is idling," sums up Koc. As reported by EADaily, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, began a meeting with representatives of the US President Steve Witkoff and By Jared Kushner. He reported this on the social network X. Recall, Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov commented on the meeting in the Kremlin of President Vladimir Putin with special envoys of US President Donald Trump Steve Witkoff and By Jared Kushner. "Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner promised to use the observations and assessments received from the Russian president regarding reaching a sustainable peaceful settlement during contacts in Kiev," Ushakov said.
