Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, will meet Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Berlin this weekend to discuss peace negotiations aimed at ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Germany will host a leaders' meeting next Monday after Zelensky attends a German‑Ukrainian business forum, officials said in Berlin. Kyiv recently submitted an updated plan building on Trump's 28‑point proposal, which critics say concedes territory. Trump expressed reluctance to commit to additional talks without progress and warned the conflict could escalate; White House statements and media reports provided the timeline. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
