US Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner Plan First Kyiv Visit
U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to travel to Kyiv in the coming weeks, likely in the second half of August and possibly around Ukraine’s Independence Day on Aug. 24. The trip would be their first visit to Ukraine after multiple trips to Russia and follows a White House meeting between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky said he expects the envoys to discuss detailed proposals for restarting trilateral peace talks involving Ukraine, the United States and Russia, and to assess Ukraine’s air‑defence needs as Russia continues missile and drone attacks. The visit aims to boost diplomacy toward ending the war and to give the envoys a firsthand view of conditions on the ground.
President Trump added that the United States is still reviewing whether to grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot air‑defence missiles, underscoring ongoing discussions about additional military aid.
