Trump envoys arrive in Moscow for Ukraine peace talks

bbc.co.uk

US President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday for talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, ahead of a planned visit to Kyiv on Sunday. They are carrying a proposal to end the conflict. The envoys are expected to meet separately with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to Axios. This marks their first trip to Kyiv, though they have visited Moscow multiple times since Trump took office. Zelensky said Russia fired "demonstrative" strikes on Kyiv and Boryspil airports overnight, which he linked to the US visit. Ukraine's airspace has been closed since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, and previous peace efforts have failed to achieve a breakthrough.
