President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly criticized US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, stating their failure to visit Kyiv while frequently visiting Moscow is 'disrespectful.' This remark comes in light of the US envoys’ visits aimed at facilitating ceasefire talks concerning the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Zelensky pointed out that while Witkoff has traveled to the Russian capital eight times and met Vladimir Putin, neither he nor Kushner has ever visited Kyiv for official duties. He mentioned, 'It's disrespectful [for them] to come to Moscow and not Kyiv,' and suggested that if logistics are an issue, alternate meeting locations could be arranged. Although plans for the envoys to visit Ukraine were previously discussed, they did not materialize, as US attention shifted towards conflicts in the Middle East. Zelensky highlighted the importance of continued cooperation with the US, despite these geopolitical distractions. The current state of ceasefire negotiations remains complex, amidst ongoing tensions and battles along the front lines in Ukraine.
