Zelensky says failure of US envoys to visit Kyiv is 'disrespectful'
Volodymyr Zelensky said he considered visits by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow but not Kyiv "disrespectful". "It's disrespectful [for them] to come to Moscow and not Kyiv, it's just disrespectful," Zelensky said in an interview with a Ukrainian outlet.
Witkoff and Kushner visited the Russian capital late last year and again in January. Witkoff has been to Moscow eight times and met Vladimir Putin on many occasions. Neither Witkoff nor Kushner has ever visited Kyiv in an official capacity. Earlier in April, Zelensky said the two were planning on visiting Ukraine, but that trip never materialised amid the US-Israel war with Iran. The last trilateral summit between Russia, the US and Ukraine was in mid-February. Less than two weeks later, the US and Israel began striking Iran.
Witkoff and Kushner are part of the US negotiating team travelling to Pakistan for ceasefire talks with Iran. Zelensky acknowledged that the attention of the US was on the Middle East, but said, "in any case, for us it is important to continue cooperating with the Americans."
