US President Donald Trump's envoys have arrived in Kiev for their first wartime visit after talks in Moscow, as deadly Russian attacks killed at least eight people in Ukraine over the past day. The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday in talks described by a Kremlin adviser as "extremely frank." Putin reiterated Russia's unchanged war goals, while the White House says "concrete plans" were discussed and will be announced in coming weeks. The delegation will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said Ukraine remains "constructive" and needs peace and security guarantees. Russia controls nearly a fifth of Ukrainian territory. Putin ordered a three-day halt to strikes on Kiev during the American visit.
