JAKARTA - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said she had discussed ways to achieve a just and lasting peace in conflict with Russia in talks with US special envoy Keith Kellogg.

Kellogg's visit to Kyiv comes at a diplomatically difficult time for Ukraine after US President Donald Trump effectively ended Russian leader Vladimir Putin's political isolation.

Trump was also involved in bilateral talks with Moscow, and has since voiced Russia's statement about Ukraine.

"I affirm Ukraine's willingness to achieve peace through our strength and vision to take the necessary steps," Sybiha told X.

Sybiha reiterated to Kellogg that she "sit and listens" as part of her mission, Ukraine's security and transatlantic "unseparable".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy planned a meeting with Kellogg on Thursday. The envoy has met with Ukraine's top military commander, intelligence chief, and special agency.

In the past two days, Trump said Ukraine should never have started a war that Russia launched in 2022, calling Zelenskiy a "distator without elections" and spreading false data about its political assessment.

Zelenskiy responded to accusations that Trump was caught in a "disinformation bubble", with lies coming from Russia, but later said he relied on American pragmatism.
