US envoys Witkoff and Kushner could visit Ukraine, Kyiv says

KYIV, April ‌4 (Reuters) - U.S. ​envoys ​Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner could travel to Kyiv ‌in April, the Ukrainian president's top ⁠aide Kyrylo Budanov said on Saturday, ‌amid efforts to revive ‌peace talks with Russia which stalled after the outbreak of war ​in the Gulf.

“Kushner, Witkoff, Lindsey Graham — those are the ones expected ⁠to come. Who else will be there — we’ll ​see,” Budanov told Bloomberg, adding that the meeting could take ​place shortly after Orthodox ‌Easter on April 12.

This would be the first official ⁠visit to Kyiv for Witkoff and Kushner, who have previously met Ukrainian ⁠representatives in the U.S., but have travelled to ​Moscow for talks with Russia.

Talks brokered by Washington between Ukraine and Russia to ‌end Moscow's four-year war in Ukraine stalled after the U.S. ‌and Israel bombed Iran, triggering ⁠waves of retaliatory ‌strikes on ​numerous Middle Eastern states.
