aftenposten.no (Swedish)

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday to present a new peace proposal, while Putin ordered a three-day halt to attacks on Kyiv. The three-hour Kremlin meeting was confirmed by Russian state media, with Witkoff conveying greetings from President Donald Trump. The delegation, making its third Moscow visit, left without speaking to reporters and is expected to travel to Kyiv on Sunday, though Ukraine's airspace remains closed since the 2022 invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he spoke with the envoys and offered to pause air strikes on Moscow through Monday. Russia expressed skepticism about the US effort, while CIA chief John Ratcliffe visited Moscow last week, and India has offered to help mediate.
