U.S. President’s Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are discussing alternative plans for a trip to Kyiv on September 5–6. It is reported that Witkoff is wary of the visit due to threats and intimidation from Russia.
According to Censor.NET, the publication Kyiv Independent reports this, citing a well-informed source.
"The Russians don't want them to come here to Kyiv, and Vitkoff is always sensitive to the mood in Russia. They're being told there that it's dangerous," the publication's source said.
