Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner arrive in Moscow
Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday, September 5, landing at Vnukovo airport aboard a US Air Force Boeing C-32A, where they were met by Russian special representative Kirill Dmitriev. The envoys are carrying a US proposal to end the war, as announced by President Donald Trump on September 4. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the visit, stating Ukraine will refrain from aerial strikes on Russian territory during the delegation's stay and urged Moscow to do the same. The envoys are scheduled to visit Kyiv on Sunday. The trip follows weeks of negotiations, with the US pressing Ukraine to pause drone attacks on Moscow and Russian energy facilities, and Russia to halt missile strikes on Kyiv. Zelensky previously discussed a new peace plan with Witkoff and Kushner on August 31, involving a ceasefire, troop withdrawal, and buffer zone.
