A meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Brussels has reportedly been canceled, Alex Raufoglu, Kyiv Post's Chief Correspondent in Washington DC reported on X early on Dec. 3.

Zelenskyy was scheduled to meet with the U.S. envoys following their talks with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Moscow. 

“The Brussels meeting is called off, according to sources. Zelenskyy is returning home,” Raufoglu wrote.

“Kremlin claims that Witkoff and Kushner ‘promised’ to head directly to Washington after talks with putin.”

On Dec. 2, Putin met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin for what Russian media described as a five-hour meeting, although the Russian dictator reportedly arrived about two and a half hours late. The talks focused on proposals to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, based on a peace plan developed during discussions between Ukrainian and American delegations in Florida on Nov. 30.

Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov later said that no breakthrough had been reached on the proposed peace plan yet.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
