Ukraine’s presidential chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, announced on Tuesday that he had spoken with U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, a central figure in the U.S. team working on a potential resolution to the conflict. Yermak said he expects Driscoll to visit Kyiv later this week.

“Thank you for your objectivity and constructiveness,” Yermak wrote on Telegram. “As set out by President Trump, we expect the (Army Secretary) in Kyiv this week, and we are ready to continue working as quickly as possible to finalise the steps necessary to end the bloodshed.”

Yermak, who participated in the Ukrainian delegation’s discussions in Geneva regarding Washington’s peace proposal, said the talks provided “a good foundation” and noted that President Zelenskyy and his team are “fully committed to further work.”
