Trump Sends Pentagon Officials to Ukraine in Effort to Restart Peace Talks
Push comes after the White House has seen multiple previous overtures to Moscow yield little progress on halting the war
The Wall Street Journal provides further details about the American delegation's visit to Kyiv. Along with U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Army Chief of Staff Randy George, another four-star general, U.S. Army Commander-in-Chief Christopher Donahoe, arrived in Ukraine.
It should be noted that Donahoe has been a key figure in providing weapons to Ukraine since 2022; as commander of the U.S. Army's XVIII Airborne Corps, he formed a unit to coordinate military aid to Kyiv.
Now, in addition to "ending the war," the American military leaders will discuss weapons production, particularly UAVs, with their Ukrainian counterparts.
According to officials, Driscoll and George flew to Germany on Monday, where they received intelligence from Donahoe at an American military base. The group discussed the situation on the battlefield, studying maps with soldiers who have been working in Ukraine for many years. They arrived in Poland on Tuesday and boarded the overnight train to Kyiv that night.
