President Donald Trump announced Friday he is sending envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv with a proposal to end the four-year war in Ukraine, expressing confidence in progress. The envoys will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday, according to Axios. Trump said "we have an idea for peace" without detailing whether it involves territorial concessions. This marks the first Kyiv visit for both envoys since Trump returned to power. Trump attributed the war, which began with Russia's February 2022 invasion, to a "personality problem" between Putin and Zelensky, and dismissed German allegations of a Russian drone attack on Leipzig as unlikely.
