Kremlin sees no basis for peace ahead of possible US envoy visit

watson.ch (German)

The Kremlin says there are no foundations for ending the war in Ukraine ahead of a possible visit by US President Donald Trump's negotiators to Moscow. Spokesman Dmitri Peskov stated no concrete preconditions exist, though diplomatic contacts continue. US envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner are reportedly expected in Moscow and Kyiv this weekend, according to unofficial sources. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky mentioned a visit in the coming days, but no official confirmation has been given. The negotiators have visited Moscow several times since 2025 but never Kyiv, reflecting Trump's prioritization of ties with Vladimir Putin. Security concerns may still derail the trip, with some delegations reportedly postponing visits to Kyiv.
