Ukraine war: Zelensky: US mediators coming to Kyiv on Sunday
Negotiations for an end to the Ukraine war under US mediation had stalled. Now President Zelenskyy in Kyiv is announcing a visit from the US mediators, who so far have only been in Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that US mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Kyiv on Sunday. According to Zelenskyy, Witkoff and Kushner will first visit Moscow before traveling to Kyiv. The Ukrainian side will ensure normal operation of Russian airspace during the visit and has promised not to carry out any air attacks, expecting a reciprocal response from Russia.
The visit was reported to have been under negotiation for weeks, with the US insisting that Ukraine halt drone attacks on Russian targets during the mediators' stay in Moscow.
