Trump sends envoys to Moscow and Kyiv with peace plan

US President Donald Trump announced that his special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Moscow and Kyiv with a proposal to end Russia's war against Ukraine, saying there is a "high probability" of reaching an agreement. He made the remarks during a White House press conference. Trump stated the envoys are carrying a specific peace proposal and described them as "two great negotiators." He also said he does not believe Russian President Vladimir Putin will attack NATO territory, citing his ongoing communication with Putin and personal knowledge of him. Trump repeated his claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin personally hate each other, complicating negotiations. He also reiterated unverified claims about ending eight wars and complained about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. The Kremlin reportedly has pessimistic expectations for the visit.
