gmx.net (German)

US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin, resuming US mediation efforts to end the Ukraine war after a pause. A meeting is planned, though no official time has been set. The envoys will visit Kyiv on Sunday for their first meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump confirmed the mission but gave no details of the proposal. Both Moscow and Kyiv expressed skepticism about a quick end to the conflict. A minor success was achieved: Putin ordered a three-day halt to air strikes on Kyiv starting Sunday, while Ukraine pledged no attacks during the visit. The talks had stalled as Trump focused on the Iran war.
