The situation at a glance: Advance at the end of the Ukraine war? Trump sends mediator
US under-brokers Witkoff and Kushner are reportedly set to travel first to Moscow and then to Kiev. Will the long-stalled negotiations on an end to the Russian war of aggression be gaining momentum again?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, will visit Kyiv this weekend. The two had previously visited Moscow and will discuss a potential end to the Ukraine war. Zelenskyy also stated that Ukraine will refrain from launching air attacks during the visit, and expects Russia to reciprocate.
The visit comes after a recent escalation, including a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian intelligence agency SBU in Kyiv, which injured at least 12 people.
