Trump sends envoys to Moscow and Kyiv with Ukraine peace plan
US President Donald Trump has dispatched envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv this weekend carrying a peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine, with Trump expressing optimism about progress. The envoys will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, marking their first visit to Kyiv. Trump did not clarify whether the proposal involves territorial concessions, while Zelensky has offered a ceasefire during the talks. The visit follows a Russian drone attack on Kyiv's SBU security service headquarters Friday that wounded 15 people, and comes amid escalating cross-border strikes. Zelensky vowed a "tangible response," while Moscow has not confirmed the visit or responded to the ceasefire offer.
