newsNov 11, 202617525

U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and investor Steve Witkoff will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin this week, reports say, after the pair’s recent trip to Moscow and follow-up trilateral talks aimed at advancing peace negotiations. Zelensky confirmed the planned meeting while in Dublin for the European Political Community gathering and said he expects a debrief from the envoys and his negotiating team. Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who met Zelensky at Government Buildings, said the meeting comes at an important time and reiterated support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and continued assistance, including discussion of a possible memorandum on drone co-production. Kushner’s diplomatic role has drawn domestic scrutiny in the U.S.; House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries recently defended his decision to meet Kushner amid criticism. The Dublin meeting could feed into the broader peace process discussions that Zelensky said may have a “window of opportunity” to produce a breakthrough before 2027.
