KYIV (Reuters) - Kyiv is looking forward to a visit this month by U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief of staff said on Friday.
Andriy Yermak said he had spoken to the envoy, Keith Kellogg, about topics including the battlefield situation in the war with Russia, the safety of Ukrainian civilians and meetings at the Munich Security Conference later this month.
"The Ukrainian side is looking forward to the visit of the U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, in February to provide comprehensive information on Russian aggression against our country," Yermak wrote on the Telegram messaging app. He did not provide an exact date for the visit.
Ukraine has been trying to establish close relations with Trump's administration, which wants to bring a quick end to the nearly three-year-old war since Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.
Zelenskiy will lead Ukraine's delegation to the Munich Security Conference, which U.S. Vice President JD Vance also plans to attend, Yermak told The Associated Press on Thursday.
