The Russian attack kills 17, injuring 48 other people in Kiev, Ukrainian officials say that

Officials of the meeting, familiar to the meeting, told Fox News Digital that Yermac and Kisseltsia gave Witchoff a status on the war with the most recent attacks of Russia and Moscow.

Russia attacked Kiev on Wednesday night, in which at least 17 people were killed, 48 others injured and damaged buildings, officials Ukraine Said.

A senior official told Fox News Digital that Ukrainian officials invited Vitkoff to visit Ukraine in future.

Vitcooff is continuing working with Ukrainian officials – and officials say they are “progressing.”

According to the Trump administration officials, the meeting, a position updated and the goal of achieving both Ukraine and Russia, re -confirmed that they eventually met on an agreement to end the war.

The diplomatic approach of Vitcoff in highly sensitive dialogue has been equally praised by the Trump cabinet authorities and foreign authorities.

State Secretary Marco Rubio also postponed the work of Vitcoff, saying he “is a prominent member of the team of President Trump and plays an indispensable role in furthering the priorities of the President.”

Rubio told Fox News Digital that Vitcooff’s “unique perspective and innovative approach opened new opportunities for diplomacy which were unavailable earlier.”

Rubio told Fox News Digital, “It is remarkable to see him in action and he got the privilege of calling him a colleague.”

The National Security Advisor of United Kingdom Jonathan Powell also praised the style of Vitcooff.

Powell reflected his experience of more than 30 years in peace talks, stating Fox News Digital that “there is a lot of snowberry in diplomacy – that peace can only be made in grand chandelier rooms, with tens of officers and delegations of decades diplomatic experience.”

“But in my experience, people who really succeed in making peace work on their own and moves silently to build confidence between prominent leaders on both sides and to cut a deal,” Powell said. “Steve Vitcoff is absolutely that kind of person.”

Powell told Fox News Digital as to Vicchoff’s experience of “making deals in a completely different field, with” attraction and optimism, unbalanced, an initiative for tens of reasons, why an initiative cannot work, and focus on focusing on a permanent agreement. ”

“In this year’s court, Steve is able to open doors that no one else can do and peace in a series of different conflicts that will be otherwise insoluble,” Powell said.

And during his first administration, Jredar Kushner, a former senior advisor to Trump, told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration’s “small, focused teams could get great results.”

Kushner said, “It is not uncommon to manage the world of the deal, managing many complex deals at the same time,” Avoiding Witchoff’s “commitment, creativity and determination to solve some of the world’s most complex problems.”

Kushner said, “Steve is in a hurry to have advice and expertise when he is assessing a situation and develops his approach with changing the facts,” Kushner said.

In this week’s report, however, unnamed sources have been quoted as saying that Vitcoff does not have enough experience to handle Ukraine -Rusk conflict.

Vice President JD Vance, however, told Fox News Digital that Witcofoff “has made more progress towards ending bloodshed in Ukraine than all his critics.”

“He is a natural diplomat, an experienced negotiator, and a true humanist,” said Vance.

Vance exploded those who have criticized Vitkofof for “threatening” only.

Russia carried out the biggest attack on Ukraine this month, after Trump meetings Putin, with Zelancesi

“These smears are coming from bureaucrats for a lifetime, who are threatened by Steve’s success, and who are originally opposed to a productive peace process,” Vance said.

Meanwhile, Vitcoff meeting with officials in New York City comes a few hours after the Ukraine’s overnight air strikes in Ukraine and Russia’s air strikes on other cities of Ukraine, a few hours after requesting an emergency open briefing in the United Nations Security Council.

Council members Denmark, France, Greece, Republic of Korea, Slovenia and the United Kingdom supported the request of the meeting.

Reports say Russia used around 600 drones and more than 30 ballistic and cruise missiles in the attack this week.

Trump’s Russian President Vladimir Putin came to Alaska after a continuous attack of Russia in August in August. Putin proposed some fields to Ukraine in exchange for peace.

A few days later, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelansky And many European heads of the state at the White House, as they urged Ukraine to accept a land swap deal with Russia. Trump has argued that this is the most efficient way of ending war.

Trump hosted Zelansky with French President Emmanuel MacronBritish Prime Minister Keir Stmper, German Chancellor Frederick Merz, Italian Prime Minister Goria Meloni And Finnish President Alexander Stub.

NATO general secretary Mark Rute And European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen also attended the meeting at the White House.

Trump is coordinating the next stages to end the war, and encouraging Putin and Zelansky to meet.

Trump has stated that after Putin and Zelancesi met, he will host a “trillet”, which will be a meeting with Putin, Zelanski and Trump.

Trump said last week, “After that meeting, we will have a trillion, which will be two presidents, as well as ourselves.” “Again, it was a very good, the initial step for a war that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, State Secretary Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witcoff, coordinates with Russia and Ukraine.”

But after the latest attack, Zelancesi exploded Putin, saying that Russia “chooses ballistic instead of the conversation table. This opt for the murder to continue killing instead of ending the war.”

“And this means that Russia is still not afraid of the results,” Zelansky said. “Russia still takes advantage of the fact that the least part of the world takes a blind eye to kill children and wants an excuse for Putin.”

Zelansky said that it is “definitely time for new, difficult sanctions against Russia that he is doing.”

He said, “All the deadlines have already been broken, dozens of diplomacy opportunities were wasted.” “Russia should feel accountable for every strike for every day of this war. Eternal memory for all the victims of Russia.”
