US envoy Witkoff to meet Zelenskyy in Germany for latest peace talks – POLITICO

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Germany this weekend to discuss a plan to end the war with Russia, according to multiple media reports.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also are expected to take part in talks on Ukraine, according to the reports. The Wall Street Journal was first to report on the planned meeting in Berlin.

The exact timing and scope of the talks in Germany haven’t been disclosed. The British government said the European leaders plan to meet in Berlin on Monday, not over the weekend. POLITICO reported earlier that the U.K.’s national security adviser, Jonathan Powell, was expected to hold talks this weekend with German and French counterparts, the U.S.’s Witkoff and Ukrainian representatives.
