Trump sends envoys to Moscow and Kyiv with new peace plan

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday with a new US proposal to end the war in Ukraine, and are expected to visit Kyiv on Sunday. Both Russia and Ukraine have pledged not to strike each other's capitals during the talks. The envoys, sent by President Donald Trump, will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. Trump said the negotiators carry "an idea for peace," though he declined to specify details, including whether the plan involves Ukraine ceding territory. The diplomatic push comes amid escalating long-range attacks, with Russia striking Kyiv's airports and killing five people in Dnipro region overnight. Peace efforts have stalled since February, with Russia maintaining its demand that Ukraine cede four regions and abandon NATO membership, while front lines remain largely static.
