Trump should replace envoys Witkoff and Kushner because they are "biased on Ukraine," - US Senator Blumenthal
US Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said that US President Donald Trump should replace his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are involved in the process of resolving Russia's war against Ukraine.
He said this in a comment to Suspilne, according to Censor.NET.
Blumenthal expressed concern that Trump is pressuring Ukraine to quickly sign a peace agreement without security guarantees. According to him, the current format of negotiations appears "completely one-sided," as demands are being made of Ukraine, while Russia is not being offered any concessions.
The senator noted that Vitkoff and Kushner, in his opinion, are "biased against Ukraine" and that Trump needs new negotiators. He also called the current "peace plan" unacceptable and in need of a complete overhaul.
Commenting on Trump's statements about the need to hold elections in Ukraine, Blumenthal said that such statements play into the Kremlin's hands. He stressed, "Putin does not hold elections. Zelenskyy does not need to either."
