Kyiv (Ukraine), 6 Sept. (LaPresse/AP) – US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Kyiv. This is their first official visit to Ukraine, coming the day after their meeting in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which lasted more than three hours. Their arrival marks a new stage in US efforts to mediate a peace settlement. So far, Kyiv has rejected Russia’s maximalist demand that Ukraine withdraw from certain parts of the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which remain under Ukrainian control. Washington’s efforts to end the fighting had lost momentum, as US attention had been focused over the past six months on the war in Iran.
