  • Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to visit Ukraine and Russia over the weekend for peace negotiations.
  • Berlingske international analyst Kristian Mouritzen describes the visit as positive for Ukraine and as a sign of stronger opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“It is very significant. And very positive.” That is how Berlingske’s international analyst Kristian Mouritzen describes the planned visit by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Ukraine.

The two special envoys of U.S. President Donald Trump, who is also Kushner’s father-in-law, are due to travel to Ukraine and Russia over the weekend to negotiate peace.

Mouritzen’s reading goes beyond the immediate talks. He says the visit is good for Ukraine, but also points to a broader resistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The high-profile trip, in his view, is not only about Ukraine and reflects Trump taking a harder line toward Putin.

It is very significant. And very positive.
