Trump’s special envoys are traveling to Ukraine. Collage by UNIAN, photo from president.gov.ua, ua.depositphotos.com. There is no particular value in the visit of US presidential special representatives Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner, military expert Ivan Stupak, an employee of the Security Service of Ukraine for 2004–2015 years, on air of the program "Superproposals."
"And what is the point? What do they influence? These people do not influence anything. They simply move to Moscow, go to some other locations. I don’t know what they are doing there. They don’t bring any result. For almost a year they have been to Moscow several times, in different other locations. The result of their work is zero," he said.
The military expert noted that the only advantage of this visit could be that Russia is unlikely to attack Kyiv on that day.
"But it’s not about that. It’s about stopping the war. Well, how to stop it? To rest, yes, one night, then they will go again," added Stupak.
The former intelligence service employee also commented on the information that Witkoff and Kushner planned to fly to Ukraine by plane. The expert noted that if the American negotiators really had such plans, they have a false impression of the situation in Ukraine.
"For example, Boryspil Airport. There have been so many shellings there already. I know that one terminal is definitely missing. We understand that the rest, if any, are very, very badly damaged. The takeoff and landing runway, I can’t even imagine what state it could be in. These towers, the dispatch center, some other equipment are necessary. We understand that after 4,5 years of war, if not damaged, people are needed to land this plane. Therefore, in my view, this is a completely false story. A helicopter is possible. From Poland by helicopter to Lviv, then to Kyiv. It could be. And the Russians certainly would not attack. But again, what is the point? What influence do they have? They can do nothing," Stupak concluded.
Visit of American negotiators: what is known
Recall that on the night of 5 September, Russia carried out another massive strike on Ukraine. Airports in Kyiv and Boryspil were among the targets. President Volodymyr Zelensky, commenting on this strike, emphasized that it is a direct reaction by Russia to discussions about the possible arrival of American representatives by plane to Ukraine.
It should be noted that Witkoff and Kushner have already arrived in Moscow, where they are to meet the Kremlin dictator Putin. Tomorrow, 6 September, American diplomats are due to visit Kyiv.
