Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner arrive in Moscow to push for Ukraine peace plan
US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to explore ending the war in Ukraine, ahead of a planned trip to Kyiv. Russian state media reported their arrival, with a Putin representative meeting them at the airport. The envoys are due to travel to Kyiv for the first time, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported Russian missile strikes on two airports near the capital, calling them a reaction to the planned US visit. The mission comes amid constant Russian attacks, including a strike on Ukraine's Security Service headquarters. Russian officials have signaled no willingness to compromise, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov saying Moscow's position is strengthened by Ukraine's battlefield struggles. Zelensky has welcomed the visit, seeking constructive negotiations to find realistic options to end the war.
