US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Kyiv on Sunday, August 6, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russia is expected to suspend its attacks during the visit. The visit was finalized on September 4, with the envoys also scheduled to travel to Moscow. Ukraine will ensure no Ukrainian air strikes occur and expects Russia to reciprocate with a ceasefire to guarantee the safety of US officials during negotiations. Zelenskyy stated Ukraine aims for a constructive visit and real options to end the war. Witkoff and Kushner have previously visited Moscow multiple times but never Kyiv, with earlier planned trips reportedly canceled due to Russian strikes.
