Trump envoys' planned Kyiv visit thrown into doubt as Witkoff reportedly fears trip after Russian pressure
US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were scheduled to visit Moscow and then Kyiv on September 5–6 — what would have been their first trip to Ukraine. According to sources cited by Kyiv Independent, Witkoff grew fearful of the Kyiv leg after being told by Russians that it is dangerous, and alternative plans are being discussed. The visit had already been postponed from Ukraine's Independence Day on August 24 because of intensified Russian strikes on Kyiv. RBK-Ukraine, citing a source, said the envoys are still likely to come on September 6.
