It is noted that although Witkoff and Kushner have repeatedly visited Russia for talks with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, this will be their first visit to Ukraine.
The US side, in turn, has not yet confirmed the visit of its representatives to Kyiv. An unnamed American official said that the issue is being discussed, but there is no final answer yet regarding the visit of officials.
It is known that Ukraine seeks clear clarifications in the negotiations regarding the nature of the security guarantees that the United States is prepared to provide to prevent new Russian aggression as part of any peace agreement with Moscow.
The publication recalls how President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously invited American negotiators to Kyiv, but did not specify possible dates. He also stated that the visit to Ukraine could precede the next trip of the American delegation to Moscow.
As is known, trilateral talks to end the war in Ukraine have been on hold since the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East. It was reported that Trump may even withdraw from the negotiation process over Iran.
However, the White House recently stated that Donald Trump still believes that ending Russia's war against Ukraine is achievable.
