Two sets of diplomatic negotiations, on Ukraine and Iran, are set to take place in Geneva on Tuesday (17 February), a source briefed on the matter told Reuters on Friday.
A U.S. delegation including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will meet negotiators from Iran on Tuesday morning, the source said. Representatives from Oman will be on hand to help mediate the U.S.-Iran discussions, the source said.
Witkoff and Kushner will then participate in trilateral talks with representatives from Russia and Ukraine in the afternoon, according to the source.

He is also trying to coax Ukraine and Russia into an agreement to end the nearly four-year-long war in Ukraine.
