Zelensky says US envoy expected in Kyiv this week for talks on ending Russia war

"We expect to meet with the US president's envoy here in Kyiv. We have confirmation from them," Zelenskyy said in his daily address.

They will have meetings in both Moscow and Kyiv. We expect a meeting in the coming days.

Diplomatic attempts to end Russia's war have in recent months been overshadowed by the US war in Iran.

Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been involved in shuttle diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine, and have visited Moscow on several occasions.

However, so far they have not travelled to Kyiv.
