- Zelensky spoke Sunday with President Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about the crisis between the U.S. and Ukraine.
- The call focused on U.S. efforts to resume peace talks with Russia and marked the first direct conversation between Zelensky and senior U.S. officials since tensions flared (sentence truncated in available text).
Why it matters: The reopening of a direct envoy channel signals both sides are prioritizing back-channel diplomacy over public escalation, with the stated U.S. priority being resumption of Russia talks rather than confrontation with Kyiv.
