Sources: Why Witkoff is not coming to Kyiv

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have visited Moscow several times, but not Kyiv. The reason? Witkoff reportedly finds it inconvenient to take the train.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine's airspace has been closed, meaning that trains are the only option for getting to Kyiv.

They have problems having to take the train. It's difficult for Witkoff, a source with insight tells The Kyiv Independent.

Negotiations between the US, Russia and Ukraine have been on hold for over two months while the US has been preoccupied with the war in Iran. However, both Witkoff and Kushner have previously visited Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"They have promised (to visit Kyiv) many times, but so far have not done it even once," says a frustrated government source.
