This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement by senior correspondent for Radio Liberty, Alex Raufoglu. While there were previously doubts regarding the visit, the plans of the American side have now become more concrete. ### Key figures and visit timeline According to the information received, two high-ranking representatives of the administration will arrive in the capital of Ukraine in the second half of August: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Witkoff is known as a special representative of the US President, while Kushner is the son-in-law of the current head of state and one of his closest advisors. The official reason for the trip will be events dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence. Two sources familiar with the delegation's schedule informed the journalist about the envoys' plans. This confirms that the invitation from Kyiv, previously voiced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, has been accepted for execution. ### From uncertainty to specifics The situation regarding the visit has changed over the course of several months. As early as the beginning of July, data appeared suggesting that Trump's representatives did not plan to travel to Kyiv in the near future. It was believed that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff would visit Russia and Ukraine only if new grounds for discussing peace negotiations arose. However, as early as June 1, the head of the President's Office, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that US envoys planned to visit in the near future. Current information confirms that the invitation to the American delegation remains in force and is being implemented as part of the preparations for the country's independence anniversary.
