Zelenskyy says US representatives Witkoff and Kushner have yet to visit Kyiv

What happened

Ukrainska Pravda English reports that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that US representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have not yet visited Kyiv. Zelenskyy expressed hope that both would arrive in the city within the next two weeks.

The report does not specify the purpose of the visits or whether the potential arrival of Witkoff and Kushner relates directly to ongoing diplomacy, sanctions discussions, or other front-line issues in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Zelenskyy's remarks underline a lack of direct engagement so far from these US figures in Ukraine's capital, which might reflect broader dynamics in US-Ukraine relations or plans for future involvement.
