Zelensky: "U.S. Envoys to Visit Ukraine...Schedule Being Coordinated"
"Strengthening Bilateral Relations to Move Toward Peace"
On May 8, 2026 (local time), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on social media that U.S. presidential envoys are coordinating a visit to Kyiv around the time when spring turns to summer.
Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, reportedly met with U.S. envoy Steve Whitkoff and others in Miami, United States, the previous day. President Zelensky stated, "We discussed humanitarian issues, including the exchange of prisoners of war," and added, "By strengthening our bilateral relationship with the United States, we will move toward peace."

Previously, President Zelensky had pointed out the issue of Ukraine being bypassed by the United States. Specifically, he noted that last year, U.S. envoys visited Russia five times but did not visit Ukraine. Recently, with the United States focusing its attention on the Middle East crisis, negotiations for an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine have been put on hold.
