Day 1567 of war in Ukraine: Zelensky meets with Witcoff and Kushner

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks with US representatives Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner. The war in Ukraine continues on its 1567th day, with fighting occurring mainly in eastern and southern Ukraine.

Ukraine's war continues on day 1567 following Russian President Vladimir Putin's launch of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. After a failed assault on Kyiv, the front line has shifted to eastern and southern Ukraine, where fighting continues to rage intensively.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks on this day with US special envoy Steve Witcoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The contents of the meeting were not disclosed in detail, but diplomatic contacts between Ukraine and the US have intensified recently as Washington seeks ways to end the conflict.

Russia launched the invasion with the aim of seizing Kyiv quickly, but Ukrainian armed forces were able to repel the assault. Since then, the front line has stabilised in eastern Ukraine in the Donbas region and in southern Ukraine, where both sides are suffering heavy losses. The international community is watching the conflict's development with concern, particularly the Baltic states, which view Russian aggression as a direct threat to their security.
