On Monday evening, the Ukrainian president announced that had a positive conversation with the envoys of the President of the United States Donald Trump – Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Zelensky appreciated their declaration of readiness to take actions in the coming weeks to end the war in Ukraine.
Dmytro Lytvyn, adviser to the Ukrainian president on communications, explained to the media that Zelensky's consultations with American negotiators took place during the plane's technical stopover in Chisinau.
Witkoff and Kushner's involvement in mediation between Moscow and Kiev was suspended at the end of February this year. The reason for the suspension of negotiations was the armed conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran, reminds Reuters. The return of American envoys to diplomatic work on the Ukraine issue may mean an attempt to reactivate this negotiation channel.
