American representatives canceled the meeting with Zelensky after negotiations with Putin

Cancellation of the meeting with the President of Ukraine

According to ХВИЛЯ: U.S. representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner canceled their meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which was scheduled for December 3, 2023, in Brussels. This decision followed negotiations held on December 2, 2023, in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Witkoff's negotiations with Putin lasted about five hours. The assistant to the head of the Russian Federation, Yuri Ushakov, noted that Witkoff and Kushner promised to head to Washington after the meeting concluded. Before the negotiations with Russia, the American representatives held consultations with the Ukrainian delegation. However, according to Ushakov, no agreement on a peace plan has yet been reached.

The complexity of the situation

Ushakov also commented that the negotiations were fruitful and content-rich, but the parties did not delve into the specifics of the American proposals. Thus, the cancellation of the meeting with Zelensky is an important step in the context of ongoing negotiations between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia.

'The negotiations were fruitful and content-rich' - Yuri Ushakov

The cancellation of the meeting may indicate changes in the U.S. strategic approach to resolving the conflict in Ukraine. The presence of negotiations in Moscow between American representatives and the Russian president indicates an activation of diplomatic efforts, but the lack of agreement on a peace plan underscores the complexity of the situation. This may also suggest that American partners are trying to find more effective ways to achieve a compromise between Kyiv and Moscow, considering the interests of both parties.
