- US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Kyiv for the first time after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
- The negotiators have discussed a possible peace package and potential joint economic projects between Russia and the United States.
- The article says the visit produced no new message for the Ukrainian public, while the situation on the ground remained unchanged.
After eight visits to Moscow, US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have finally made it to Kyiv. The “peace express” arrived late, and while the two men speak of a possible peace package, Ukraine’s reality remains unchanged.
Witkoff, the US special envoy, and Kushner, a son-in-law and adviser to US President Donald Trump, visited Ukraine on Sunday for the first time themselves. Their trip came directly after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
That Moscow meeting also included discussion of possible joint economic projects between Russia and the United States. But when Witkoff and Kushner met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian public heard nothing new, the article says.
