Delegation led by Witkoff and Kushner may visit Ukraine after Easter – Budanov

A U.S. delegation headed by White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and President's son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to visit Kyiv after April 12.

According to Ukrinform, the head of the President's Office, Kyrylo Budanov, stated this in a comment to Bloomberg.

According to him, the delegation expected in Kyiv after Easter may also include Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

"Kushner, Witkoff, Lindsey Graham — those are the ones expected to come. Who else will be there — we'll see," he said.

It is noted that negotiators are currently discussing the level of security guarantees for Ukraine that the United States would provide and ensure in case Russia resumes its attacks.

Budanov suggested that Kyiv may receive stronger security guarantees following the visit of the American delegation.

"We set out what we want a long time ago. I think it will be implemented soon. What comes next is another question. But on security guarantees, we have definitely made progress — we've already moved forward," he emphasized.

As Ukrinform reported, on April 3, Volodymyr Zelensky invited a U.S. negotiating delegation to Kyiv, after which the delegation may travel to Moscow.
