Witkoff, Kushner likely to visit Kyiv Sunday after security doubts
U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are likely to visit Ukraine after all, RBC-Ukraine reported on Sept. 4, citing a source.
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to visit Ukraine on Sunday, Sept. 6, according to RBC-Ukraine. The trip's tentative date was reported on Sept. 4, with the source citing security doubts as the reason for the postponement from Sept. 5-6. The Kyiv Independent earlier reported that Witkoff's concerns over Russian attacks and his sensitivity to Russian sentiment were the primary reasons for the delay.
On Aug. 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a joint plan with Trump's representatives and European officials to end the war, which includes a ceasefire, mutual withdrawal of troops, and the creation of a buffer zone. In a phone call on Aug. 31, Zelenskyy discussed the visit with Witkoff and Kushner, addressing the current situation on the front and Russian air attacks.
Witkoff has visited Russia six times in 2025 and again in late January 2026, but has never been to Ukraine.
