Kiev: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that he held a “productive meeting” with Keith Kellogg, the U.S. special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, in Kiev.

“We had a detailed conversation about the battlefield situation, how to return our prisoners of war, and effective security guarantees,” he said on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Zelensky thanked the United States for the assistance and bipartisan support for Ukraine and voiced readiness to sign “a strong, effective investment and security agreement” with U.S. President Donald Trump.

“We have proposed the fastest and most constructive way to achieve results,” Zelensky emphasised.

Kellogg, who arrived in Kiev on Wednesday, met with Zelensky earlier in the day.

According to Ukrainian presidential spokesperson Serhii Nikiforov, a joint press conference between Zelensky and Kellogg did not take place at the request of the U.S. side.

Also on Thursday, Kellogg met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha to discuss ways toward “comprehensive, just and lasting peace” in Ukraine.

After the meeting, Sybiha wrote on X that he affirmed Ukraine’s willingness to achieve peace through strength and briefed Kellogg on Kiev’s vision for the necessary steps.
