Witkoff says goal of US delegation's Kyiv and Moscow visits was to bring sides closer
US special envoy Steve Witkoff said the American delegation that visited Kyiv and Moscow over the past two days aimed to bring the two sides closer together.
US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff has explained the purpose behind the American delegation's recent visits to the Ukrainian and Russian capitals.
According to Witkoff, the delegation's task during the two-day trip to Kyiv and Moscow was to work toward narrowing the gap between the positions of the two sides. He described the effort as an attempt to bring the parties closer together, though he did not disclose further details about the content of the discussions or any specific outcomes achieved.
The visits come as the United States continues efforts to encourage dialogue between Ukraine and Russia amid the ongoing war. Witkoff has recently been one of the key figures representing the US in attempts to find a path toward resolving the conflict.
No further details have been made public about what specific proposals or steps were discussed during the visits, nor is there information yet on how Ukraine or Russia has responded to the talks.
