Zelenskyy talks to Trump's special envoys Witkoff and Kushner

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a telephone conversation with Donald Trump’s special representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Axios journalist Barak Ravid was the first to report this, and the talks were later confirmed by Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Dmytro Lytvyn, according to RBC-Ukraine.

No details regarding the content of the conversation or the issues discussed have been disclosed by official sources at this time.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are coordinating the US administration’s efforts to resolve the war in Ukraine and engage with Washington’s key international partners.

On May 29, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that trilateral talks (between Ukraine, the US, and russia) are on hold. He believes that a meeting at the leadership level is necessary for progress.

As a reminder, The New York Times previously reported, citing sources, that moscow wants to change the format of the talks because it is tired of the periodic visits by Witkoff and Kushner.

The New York Times also reported that russia is tired of the periodic visits by US President Donald Trump’s special envoys for negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine and wants to change the format of the talks.
