U.S. officials Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv as part of a renewed push by Washington to restart negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

Details on what was discussed or what, if anything, came of the meeting were not included in available reporting. The effort follows a familiar pattern of American-brokered outreach in a war that has resisted previous rounds of the same.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

Maybe a deal gets done by whoever shows up with a plane ticket. But a person is allowed to notice how thin the resume is for the job at hand.
