Trump's representatives did not come to Ukraine in April - the United States does not want to focus on the lack of progress in the negotiations

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and US President's son-in-law Jared Kushner canceled their trip to Kyiv, which was planned for April. This was reported by the Kyiv Independent, citing sources.

According to them, the main reason is the lack of any progress in peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. The Americans see no point in a visit that can only highlight the deadlock.

“They [Witkoff and Kushner] promised many times [to visit Kyiv], but so far they have never fulfilled their promise,” the source said. According to him, Ukraine is disappointed due to the imbalance in diplomatic interaction - the Americans prefer to negotiate with the Russian Federation.

Shifting priorities . The media have repeatedly written about the fact that the US President is focused on the war with Iran to the detriment of other areas.

For example, just today it became known that the United States warned its allies in Europe about delays in arms supplies. They are partly due to serious concerns in Washington about American military reserves, depleted during the war with Iran, writes FT.

In addition, the United States will wind down its mission to monitor the truce in Gaza, Reuters reports. The civil-military coordination center, according to the agency’s interlocutors, failed to cope with its tasks. The White House's efforts to restore Gaza have been de facto suspended since the United States began a joint war with Israel against Iran, the agency writes.

Context . The last round of negotiations between the United States, Ukraine and the Russian Federation took place on February 16, and the subsequent meeting was postponed shortly before the US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
