Trump sends envoys to Moscow and Kyiv to revive Ukraine peace talks

nordbayern.de (German)

US President Donald Trump has dispatched envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv in a new bid to end the Ukraine war, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announcing their weekend visit. Trump confirmed the mission but offered no details on a proposed peace plan. Zelensky said Kyiv would refrain from air strikes to ensure the envoys' safe arrival, urging Russia to reciprocate, though overnight explosions near Kyiv followed. The New York Times reported Washington sought temporary pauses in Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow and Russian missile strikes on Kyiv during the visit. The envoys, who have visited Moscow multiple times since 2025 but never Kyiv, are reviving stalled talks that froze as Trump focused on Iran. A Russian drone strike on Kyiv's SBU intelligence building injured 12 people, prompting Ukraine to vow a "painful response."
