About this listen
Jared Kushner has been at the center of intense diplomatic activity and media scrutiny over the past several days as the Trump administration accelerates its push toward a Ukraine peace settlement. According to Reuters and confirmed by a senior U.S. administration official, Kushner, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, met today with a Ukrainian delegation in Florida to discuss the evolving peace framework. This meeting follows previous talks in Geneva where the Trump administration revised its original 28-point peace proposal to address Ukrainian concerns about security guarantees and territorial sovereignty.
The Telegraph reported earlier this week that Kushner, along with Witkoff, was dispatched to Moscow to present Putin with a direct offer from Trump: U.S. recognition of Russian control over Crimea and other occupied Ukrainian territories as part of a broader peace agreement. According to the Telegraph's reporting, this proposal remained part of the administration's strategy even after the Geneva negotiations, despite pushback from European allies who worry the deal is overly generous to Russia.
Beyond the peace negotiations, the Wall Street Journal published a detailed report revealing that Kushner and Witkoff are negotiating with Russian officials to position American businesses and Trump allies to profit from post-war reconstruction and economic ventures. The Journal's investigation indicates discussions center on revitalizing Russia's two-trillion-dollar economy through joint U.S.-Russia business projects, with three hundred billion dollars in frozen Russian assets potentially available for investment. Russian sovereign wealth fund head Kirill Dmitriev has reportedly been proposing lucrative ventures including Arctic mineral exploitation and potential SpaceX collaboration on Mars missions.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff Andriy Yermak resigned on Friday amid a corruption scandal, mere hours before his scheduled trip to meet with Kushner and Witkoff. The shake-up forced a leadership reorganization within Ukraine's delegation, with the National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov now leading talks instead.
The convergence of diplomatic negotiations, substantial financial interests, and political complications underscores the high stakes surrounding Kushner's current role in Trump's Russia-Ukraine peace initiative. His involvement signals the administration's determination to achieve rapid settlement while simultaneously raising questions among European allies and critics about whose interests are ultimately being served by the proposed arrangements.
