Trump sends envoys to Moscow and Kyiv with Ukraine peace plan
US President Donald Trump announced that his envoys are traveling to Moscow and Kyiv with a peace plan for the war in Ukraine, expressing optimism about progress. He stated, "We have an idea for peace," without specifying details. According to Axios, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday, then Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday. This marks their first Kyiv visit since Trump returned to power, though they have previously visited Moscow. Trump attributed the war, which began with Russia's February 2022 invasion, to a "personality problem" between Putin and Zelensky. He also dismissed Germany's drone attack allegations, saying Putin has no intention of attacking NATO territory, following CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent Moscow visit.
