US envoys equipped with ‘few new ideas’, looking to revive old proposals, FT reports
Citing sources, the Financial Times reports that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have brought “few new ideas” with them to Kyiv and are mainly seeking to revive earlier proposals to end the war.
The documents the duo is presenting, the FT‘s Ukraine correspondent Christopher Miller writes on X, are updated versions of previous proposals that have been “revised to reflect the changed circumstances since peace negotiations stalled in February, at the outset of the US war with Iran”.
One of the central issues is the remaining Ukrainian-held territory in Donbas – estimated at around 25 percent – which Russia has claimed but has so far been unable to capture.
