"Encouraging progress" has been made in efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, said White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly.
"At the behest of President Trump, Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have worked extensively with both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war to end this conflict once and for all," she wrote in X.
Kelly noted that earlier this week, Witkoff and Kushner "held a historic second round of trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi" and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Encouraging progress towards peace," she added.
