President Trump’s son‑in‑law Jared Kushner and former U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Kyiv on Sunday to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky and discuss the ongoing war with Russia. The New York Times reported that the two officials travelled to the Ukrainian capital by train before being escorted in a motorcade to the presidential palace.

During the visit, Kushner and Witkoff briefed Zelensky on the United States’ current military aid package and the strategic priorities for the conflict.
