WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he will send his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Kyiv in the coming weeks in what will mark their first visit to Ukraine since taking leading roles in the administration's efforts to end Russia's full-scale invasion. RFE/RL spoke with Kurt Volker, the former US special representative for Ukraine during Trump's first administration and former US ambassador to NATO who is currently a distinguished fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, about the significance of the visit, whether Washington's approach to Ukraine is changing, and how NATO should respond to Russia's escalating attacks.RFE/RL: Witkoff and Kushner are visiting Kyiv in the coming weeks. Why is this trip significant, and what should we be watching for?Kurt Volker: [It's significant] because they've never been to Ukraine. They've gone to Russia many times. They've met with Putin in Russia many times. They've been fed Russia's narrative about the war, about Ukraine, and they've never seen it with their own eyes.They have no idea what Ukraine actually is. So, to go there, to see it -- a beautiful country, a large country, lots of people, a functioning economy -- you know, the only images they would see would be what you get out of the media, which portrays destruction.
