According to the publication, the talks are taking place amid a de facto deadlock in the peace process between Ukraine and Russia. In particular, Moscow continues to insist on the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from part of the Donetsk region that it does not control.
The material notes that the parties have previously discussed a number of possible settlement issues, but the key obstacles remain the status of Donbas and the lack of clear security guarantees for Ukraine from its allies.
The White House is not disclosing details of the possible agenda of the meeting. Ukrainian representatives are also refraining from commenting.
It is separately reported that Kyiv had been counting on a possible joint visit by Witkoff and another American envoy, but these plans have not yet been confirmed.
The President of Ukraine previously stated that the Ukrainian side is in contact with American representatives and is expecting further diplomatic steps.
