Key members of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy team — special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner — may visit Kyiv and Moscow within the next seven to 10 days, Russian state-run Tass news agency reported, citing an official who wasn’t identified.

The possible trip would mark a renewed push by Trump’s two main intermediaries in the Russia-Ukraine talks after earlier negotiations to end the conflict stalled, and the U.S. pivoted to the situation in the Middle East.

Witkoff and Kushner have visited Moscow several times for meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other top officials, but have yet to visit Kyiv. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The most recent round of trilateral talks between the U.S., Ukraine and Russia was held in Geneva in mid-February. A follow-up meeting tentatively planned for later that month was postponed shortly before the start of U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

At the time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of attempting to drag out negotiations “that could already have reached the final stage,” after Witkoff lauded “meaningful progress” in the talks.
