The head of HUR, Kyrylo Budanova, confirmed that on September 6 in Kyiv Zelenskyy is holding talks with US envoys Witkoff and Kushner, as well as with representatives of France, the United Kingdom and Germany.

SBU Head Budanov confirmed that Kyiv personally delivered to Putin a proposal for a full ceasefire at the front and in the air. Moscow did not respond to the initiative; drone strikes continue.

Budanov stated that he maintained direct contact with Prigozhin until the start of his rebellion in 2023 and conducted systematic dialogue with GRU Chief Kostyukov, which allows humanitarian issues to be resolved.

RDK deputy commander Stepan Kaplunov stated in a video statement that he was kidnapped by the SBU on August 23, subjected to pressure from General Poklad, and that there was an attempt to discredit Budanov. The SBU denies this, citing a terrorism case and an armed attack.

Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated that stopping the war with Russia now is unrealistic, and that, in his assessment, combat operations will not be over by the winter of 2026–2027.

Kyrylo Budanov stated at the "Ukraine Tomorrow" forum that he personally tried to negotiate with Russia on stopping long-range strikes, but the initiative did not work. According to him, the parties went down the path of escalation, and Ukraine is forced to respond with all available means.

Head of the Office of the President Budanov confirmed on the telethon that dialogue with Russia is limited to prisoner exchanges, and a major swap is planned for the near future. There is no talk of negotiations on ending the war.

Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Office of the President, stated that Ukraine needs to mobilize at least 30,000 people per month, and that a change of defense minister will not alter the quantitative figures of conscription.

Peskov stated that peace negotiations with Ukraine are "deeply on pause" and that Kyiv does not want to discuss Moscow's demands. At the same time, Budanov allowed for a meeting in September, while Zelensky named a diplomatic window lasting until the summer of 2027.

Peskov stated that the Kremlin has no data on the timing of the next round of Russia–US–Ukraine talks. The Russian side did not confirm Kyiv's version of a meeting in September.

Budanov confirmed that the war in Ukraine was discussed at Ratcliffe's Moscow meeting, but 'in context' and not as the main issue. Kyiv called for restraint until official comments.

Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Budanov announced a possible restart of negotiations in September. He confirmed that the format will be trilateral — with the mandatory participation of the USA, Russia, and Ukraine.

Kyrylo Budanov called the call to mobilize women in Ukraine "rather strange," noting that not all men of draft age have been mobilized. Officials confirmed: there is no forced conscription of women and none is planned.

MIA Head Kyrylo Budanov stated that there is no need to mobilize women, but the wording sparked a debate over the phased nature of conscription. The authorities confirmed: a bill on female conscription is not under consideration, and service remains voluntary.

Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kirill Budanov told La Stampa that deliveries of interceptor missiles for Patriot in 2026 will be lower than in 2025 and insufficient to counter ballistic strikes. He did not name specific figures.

In an interview with La Stampa, Kyrylo Budanov proposed to Italy joint drone production and participation in protecting the Black Sea, noting that Rome is capable of doing much more for Ukraine.
