Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized US envoys for traveling to Moscow without visiting Kyiv, calling their approach "disrespectful" to Ukraine.

US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, have made multiple trips to Moscow but have not traveled to the Ukrainian capital, according to Zelensky's comments.

The Ukrainian leader's remarks highlight ongoing diplomatic tensions as the Trump administration works to address the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Zelensky has consistently emphasized the importance of direct engagement with Ukrainian leadership in any peace negotiations.

The criticism comes as various international actors continue diplomatic efforts related to the war that began with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ukraine has maintained that meaningful dialogue requires understanding the Ukrainian perspective through direct visits to Kyiv.
