Travel time is not listed, and it is unclear whether the trio has already left.
The shift only comes the days after President Donald Trump said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the appearance of the beginning of the end of the war.
“We agreed to work together, very close, including visiting each other,” Trump wrote on Wednesday in the Social Mail research on Wednesday after the call. “We also agreed that our teams immediately start negotiations.”

“As a great Secretary of Defense, General Mattis, once said: Maybe I don’t like this son B —-, but I need to talk to him,” he added.
Kellogg also said at the conference Saturday that Western leaders must more sanctions against Russia, adding that negotiations on the completion of the war could focus on the readiness of Russia to give the territory and targeting of oil income.
But some members of the Management Board operate in the last few days to determine any specific concessions from Russia ahead of potential negotiations.
Asked Thursday, what should Russia give up to achieve an agreement with Ukraine, Trump refused in the name of the specificity.
“What is negotiations, it is too early to say what will happen. Maybe Russia will give up a lot, may not, and everything depends on what will happen,” Trump said during the news with the Indian Prime Minister Irandra Modi.
The Secretary of the Defense of Pete Hegseth, which, as opposed to Ukraine to join NATO as part of the negotiating peace, indicated that the US will support the negotiations in which Kremlin took negotiations in which Ukraine Cemlin was.
“We want, like you, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we need to start the return to the borders in Ukraine in short borders,” said Hegseth in speech during the NATO seat in Brussels on Wednesday.
