He acknowledged significant differences remain between Moscow and Kyiv on key issues, which hinder progress. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to visit Kyiv in the second half of August, possibly coinciding with Ukraine's Independence Day, to discuss proposals for resuming trilateral negotiations and assess Ukraine's defense needs.
