Delegation of American negotiators expected in Kyiv after Easter - Budanov

The head of the Presidential Office, Kyrylo Budanov, expects that the American delegation may arrive in Kyiv after Easter.

Budanov said this in a comment to Bloomberg reporters.

Budanov noted that an American delegation headed by US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner could visit Kyiv after April 12. According to him, the delegation may also include Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

"Kushner, Witkoff, Lindsey Graham - they are expected. We'll see who else will be there," Budanov said.

Budanov also noted that Ukraine could receive more significant security guarantees after the visit of the US delegation.

"We have long decided what we want. I think it will be realized in the foreseeable future. What comes next is another question. But on security guarantees, we have definitely made progress — we've already moved forward," the head of the President's Office emphasized.

Separately, he also added that Ukraine has received a request from foreign allies to stop regular air strikes on russian oil refineries amid the rapid rise in world oil and fuel prices caused by the war in Iran.
