Washington’s delegation at the trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine talks in Geneva next week will include American envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Reuters reported on Saturday, citing a source briefed on the matter.

On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the trilateral negotiations to settle the Ukraine conflict will take place on February 17 and 18 in Geneva. No Western European nations will be represented, he added.

Russia’s delegation will be headed by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who has already participated in several rounds of Russian-Ukrainian talks.

In a statement on Friday, Ukraine’s national security chief Rustem Umerov announced that he would again be leading Kiev’s delegation. The other members will include Vladimir Zelensky’s new chief of staff and former military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov, general staff chief Andrey Gnatov, and several other senior officials.
