WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump’s special envoy will meet with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders in Berlin this weekend, the White House said, as Washington presses for a plan to end Russia’s bitter war with Kyiv.
A White House official on Friday confirmed to AFP the accuracy of a Wall Street Journal report that envoy Steve Witkoff will meet with Zelensky and European leaders over the weekend to discuss the status of peace negotiations.
Germany’s government has said Berlin will host the leaders, including the heads of the European Union and Nato, next Monday in the hours after Zelensky attends a German-Ukrainian business forum with Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
