US envoys Witkoff and Kushner could visit Ukraine, Kyiv says
The visit could help restart stalled U.S.-brokered peace talks and advance discussions on security guarantees for Ukraine, Budanov said.
- On Saturday, Presidential Office Head Kyrylo Budanov announced that Ukraine expects U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, to lead a delegation to Kyiv this month to resume peace talks.
- While Witkoff and Kushner have visited Moscow multiple times to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, this trip would mark their first visit to Ukraine as they lead Washington's peace delegation.
- The delegation may arrive shortly after Orthodox Easter, celebrated on April 12, and could include Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. Budanov noted, "If it doesn't work with all three of us, then let's do it this way — one by one."
- Ukrainian officials hope the visit yields robust U.S. security guarantees to prevent future Russian aggression during the conflict's fifth year. Budanov stated, "We set out what we want a long time ago."
- Russia continues demanding that Ukraine withdraw from the Donbas region, while Kyiv insists on holding the current front line. Neither side has achieved a decisive battlefield breakthrough, leaving them far apart on peace terms.
