A knowledgeable source has said that the trip to Moscow by Steve Witkoff, the US president’s special envoy, and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, has been postponed, and it is unlikely to take place before the end of August.<\/p>\n
The TASS news agency, citing the source, reported that the delay indicates there are reasons for the postponement, but no further details were provided about the nature of those reasons.<\/p>\n
Earlier, another source told TASS that Witkoff and Kushner might visit Kyiv and Moscow by late August. According to that report, the visits were being discussed in the context of possible contacts between the parties involved.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to meet again with the US president’s envoys, but, according to him, the main issue is what proposals they will bring with them.<\/p>\n
Moscow, the capital of Russia, has been one of the main hubs for diplomatic travel and indirect contacts with Western officials since the start of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
