> President Volodymyr Zelensky said Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner brought Kyiv “pretty good, decent” ideas for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, though he remains unsure they can work. He identified grain and energy as sensitive issues and hopes to meet Donald Trump around Sept. 20 to seek additional U.S. anti-ballistic missiles.
