@coachstas: Jared Kushner, US special envoy and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, spoke beside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after returning from talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kushner said negotiators had been able to finalize a prisoner of war exchange that would return thousands of people to their families, calling it an important milestone. He also said no peace deal could be concluded without Europeans at the table, and that Putin was willing to give the idea a try. Zelensky, who had pushed for European involvement from the start, appeared subdued and visibly worn throughout the appearance, a contrast to the optimistic tone of Kushner’s remarks. The footage captured the human toll of the Russia-Ukraine war on its central figure while US-led peace efforts, a major prisoner swap and the question of European participation in negotiations moved forward.
