Euronews journalist: Vitkoff and Kushner cancelled meeting with Zelensky in Brussels<\/h2>\n

Euronews journalist Alex Rafoglu<\/strong> said that the special envoy of the US President Steve Witkoff<\/strong> and advisor Jared Kushner<\/strong> cancelled a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Brussels scheduled for today<\/strong>. He wrote about this in his account on X, citing his own sources.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Rafoglu said that the meeting was to be a continuation of the US mission's negotiations on a peace plan after their visit to Moscow.<\/p>\n

What the Kremlin says<\/h2>\n

Against this background, the Russian side is trying to present the events in a favourable light. The Kremlin claims that Vitkoff and Kushner allegedly \u00abpromised\u00bb to go straight to Washington after talks with Putin<\/strong>, to report on the results of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Russian media actively promote the narrative that key decisions about the war are made \u00abdirectly\u00bb between Moscow and Washington, in an attempt to reduce Ukraine's subjectivity.<\/p>\n

The context of the peace talks<\/h2>\n

The mission of Witkoff and Kushner was part of the US administration's attempts to promote An updated peace plan for Ukraine<\/strong>. According to media reports, the original document consisted of 28 points, but in consultations with Kyiv and its allies, it was shortened and finalised.<\/p>\n

At the previous stages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Moscow said that some of the US proposals were \u00abunacceptable\u00bb;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The Ukrainian side stressed that any agreements could not take place without Kyiv's participation;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    European capitals are concerned about the possibility of agreements \u00abover Ukraine's head\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Cancellation of the meeting in Brussels is in fact delays the stage of direct communication<\/strong> between the American delegation and the Ukrainian leadership after the talks with Putin.<\/p>\n

    What this means for Ukraine<\/h2>\n

    Formally, the reasons for the cancellation of the meeting were not publicly announced. However, given the<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      difficult negotiations on the terms of a potential truce,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      disagreements between the US, the EU and Russia,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      sensitivity of territorial and security points,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Any shift in the schedule of contacts with Ukraine raises political questions both in Kyiv and in European capitals.<\/p>\n

      The Ukrainian side insists that No decisions about Ukraine's future can be made without its participation<\/strong>, and any plan must comply with the principle of restoring territorial integrity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
