Trump-Zelensky Ties Must Improve for Witkoff and Kushner to Travel to Russia
A US media outlet has revealed the reason behind the postponement of the US president's envoys' trip to Russia.
An American media revealed the reason for the postponement of the visit of the US President's envoys to Russia.
According to Ambassador Arjan, quoting from Al Jazeera, the New York Times, quoting sources it said were informed, announced that Steve Wittkoff, Trump's special envoy for Middle East affairs, and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and adviser of the US President, postponed their trip to Russia until Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky improved his relations with US President Donald Trump.
This report comes after the Wall Street Journal, another American media outlet, reported earlier that relations between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are at their lowest level since their verbal spat at the White House in February last year.
According to this newspaper, Europe's efforts to convince Trump to continue helping Kiev in this situation may be weakened.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump repeatedly asked Kiev to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries last month and expressed dissatisfaction with Zelensky's refusal to accept concessions.
One of the main concerns of Ukraine is that Washington will stop exchanging information with Kiev following the escalation of disputes.
The deterioration of Washington-Kief relations can make the European countries' efforts to maintain US support for Ukraine and increase pressure on Moscow difficult.
Reports indicate that Trump and Putin's agreement on the supply of Russian diesel and Trump's subsequent statements about the need to elect a new leadership in Ukraine have added to the differences between the two sides.
