Trump Envoys Pitch Peace Plan to Putin, Head to Kyiv for Talks

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday, presenting peace ideas, and are now heading to Ukraine for their first visit to negotiate with President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Kremlin called the three-hour talks constructive, while a temporary three-day halt on strikes against Kyiv was ordered. The American proposal's details remain undisclosed, though White House officials said substantive next steps will be announced in coming weeks. Putin acknowledged the situation is not simple, and Zelensky noted a direct Moscow-to-Kyiv flight was considered but the envoys instead landed in Poland early Sunday. This marks another round of US-led mediation efforts since 2025, which have yet to yield tangible progress. Trump has not clarified whether the plan involves Ukrainian territorial concessions, previously hinting at such a possibility, and has attributed the war to a personality clash between the two leaders.
