“The Belarusian roots of US special envoy for peace Jared Kushner could help resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.”
Globalinfo.az reports that Belarusian presidential press secretary Natalya Eysmont said this in comments to journalist Pavel Zarubin.
“We have known for a long time that Kushner is of Belarusian origin. Could this help? One cannot give a definitive answer on this matter. But the participation of these people in the negotiation process may give us a certain hope,” Eysmont said.
According to her, those conducting the negotiations are very actively and deeply involved in the process.
The Belarusian representative added that one can hope their Belarusian roots will also play a positive role.
Note that, according to media reports, Kushner’s family on his father’s side is of Belarusian origin. His grandfather Iosif Berkovich and grandmother Raisa (Raya) Kushner were born in the town of Novogrudok in what is now Belarus’s Grodno region.
During World War II they were sent to the Novogrudok ghetto but escaped and joined the Belski brothers’ partisan detachment. After the war they started a family in Budapest, and in 1949 they emigrated to the United States and went into the construction business.
Recall that Jared Kushner previously said that work was underway to prepare the largest prisoner exchange in history between Russia and Ukraine.
