Trump envoy fears Kiev trip as ceasefire declared in Ukraine
President Trump's envoys are traveling to Moscow and Kiev this weekend to negotiate a peace deal, and a four-day ceasefire has been declared in Ukraine for the visit. However, envoy Steve Witkoff has expressed fear about traveling to the Ukrainian capital. The trip has been discussed for months, but plans have wavered recently. Sources say Witkoff is hesitant due to Russian sensitivities and warnings of danger, and daily drone attacks on Kiev have closed the airport, creating logistical hurdles. The visit may still be canceled. This will be the envoys' first trip to Kiev, though they have made several to Moscow. Ukraine was previously urged not to attack Moscow during a CIA chief's visit, and a similar request was made to Russia. President Zelenskyy stressed the importance of continued US engagement.
