Witkoff to Meet Ukrainians in New York This Week as Peace Prospects Falter

US special envoy Steve Witkoff holds talks with Ukrainian representatives signaling ongoing efforts to end the war, while Washington maintains direct communication with Moscow, Reuters reported.

  • US special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to engage with Ukrainian officials in New York this week as part of ongoing American efforts to help resolve the conflict with Russia.
  • The meeting follows earlier separate talks this month where Trump met both Putin and Zelenskyy and seeks a bilateral summit between those leaders.
  • Russia controls Crimea, much of Luhansk, and parts of Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson, regions illegitimately annexed in September 2022 amid continued fighting since 2014.
  • Witkoff indicated Putin 'wants peace,' but the proposed deal may require Ukraine to cede territory including all of Donetsk, which Zelenskyy rejects due to constitutional limits.
  • These talks reflect complex challenges as Russia demands military limits and no NATO membership for Ukraine, while US officials stress that Trump's involvement may be needed to finalize peace.
