Russian strikes targeted Kyiv's two airports overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, viewing the attacks as an attempt to disrupt the planned visit of US envoys. Donald Trump's emissaries Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Saturday for talks before traveling to Kyiv on Sunday, carrying what Trump called a peace proposal. Zelensky suggested the envoys might fly into Kyiv, which would be unprecedented since Ukraine's airspace closed in February 2022. The strikes on Kamianske killed at least five people, while Moscow has not confirmed the visit or responded to Zelensky's ceasefire offer. Trump attributed the war to a "personality problem" between the two leaders.
