Witkoff, Kushner to travel to Berlin for talks on Ukraine – media

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner are expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Berlin this weekend.

That is according to Reuters, citing a U.S. official briefed on the matter, Ukrinform reports.

"The choice to send Witkoff, who has led negotiations with Ukraine and Russia regarding a U.S. peace proposal, highlights Washington's growing urgency to bridge remaining gaps with Kyiv over the plan's terms," the report notes.

French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are also expected to attend.
