US envoys head to Kyiv after Moscow talks; no breakthrough expected

US President Donald Trump's envoys are traveling to Kyiv for talks after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, though no breakthrough is indicated despite calls being described as constructive. The Saturday Moscow meeting between Putin and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner was "extremely candid," according to Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov. Putin reiterated Russia's battlefield successes and unchanged war goals, emphasizing the need to eliminate root causes of the conflict. At least eight people were killed and nearly 70 wounded in Russian attacks on Ukraine in the past day, with over 100 drones and six missiles launched. Putin ordered a three-day halt to strikes on Kyiv during the American visit.
