Trump’s Diplomatic Duo Flies To Kyiv After Cozy Chats With Putin
KEY POINTS
- •Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner landed in Kyiv Sunday after multiple trips exclusively to Moscow.
- •They held a three-hour meeting with Putin Saturday, followed by talks with Zelensky and European security advisers.
- •Officials described progress and hinted at upcoming peace plans before winter, stressing urgency and collaboration.
Trump’s diplomatic tag team, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, finally touched down in Kyiv this Sunday after apparently binge-negotiating Russia-Ukraine peace for months — but only clocking multiple trips to cozy up with Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Their diplomatic marathon kicked off with a three-hour chit-chat with Putin, followed by a pause in Poland (because who doesn’t like a scenic layover?) then a land convoy to Ukraine’s capital. Russian officials called it 'progress,' while a White House source promised 'plans for next steps' to be announced—soon. Meanwhile, Zelensky prepared for winter war strategies as Kushner and Witkoff pushed for a breakthrough before the cold. Notably, this mark’s “highest-level” U.S. visit to Ukraine since Trump’s second term began. British, French, and German security bigwigs even popped in, presumably to witness the goodwill tour that’s part negotiation, part geopolitical road trip.

(1 of 3)Trump sends Kushner and Witkoff on a scenic diplomatic tour: Moscow three hours, Poland airport selfies, then Ukraine dash. Who needs strategy when you've got layovers?
If negotiating peace was a road trip, Kushner and Witkoff just drove the longest scenic route possible with Putin as DJ.
Nothing says 'we absolutely have a plan' like a three-hour Putin talk followed by a Poland layover and eventual Kyiv touchdown.
