Zelensky, Kushner, and Witkoff Hold Two-Hour Group Therapy for Donbas Drama
KEY POINTS
- •Ukrainian President Zelensky held a two-hour call on December 7 with Trump advisers Kushner and Witkoff to discuss peace plan details.
- •This call followed a five-hour Moscow meeting on December 2 where Kushner and Witkoff met Putin to push for concessions.
- •Ukrainian officials Umerov and Hnatov will brief Zelensky in London to continue discussions and prepare for more talks.
In a Miami saga worthy of a reality show, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky endured a two-hour phone chess match with Trump’s advisors — Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner — on December 7, 2025. This followed a leisurely five-hour Moscow grilling of Vladimir Putin by the same duo on Tuesday, December 2. Negotiations spanned three days of stuffy Miami summits featuring Ukrainian national security adviser Rustem Umerov and military chief of staff Andrii Hnatov, who between jet lag and jargon wrestled territorial disputes over Donbas, still in Russian hands. U.S. staff struggled to invent 'new ideas' for old problems while Ukrainian Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna diplomatically called the talks 'realistic, fair, and sustainable.' Zelensky, ever optimistic, tweeted a hopeful message about preventing new invasions as if reminding everyone that Russia may or may not keep promises it’s known to break. Meanwhile, Umerov and Hnatov are jetting off to London to 'brainstorm' the masterpiece drafts — because what’s peace without a good brainstorm?

Nothing like a two-hour call with Trump’s dream team and a five-hour Putin meeting to solve a decade-old conflict. Miami, Moscow, London — world peace or world tour?
If negotiating peace was a marathon, Kushner and Witkoff are clearly training for a triathlon. Where’s the guy handing out water bottles?
Three cities, two guys, one war to solve—maybe they should throw in a car and call it the Donbas Derby.
