US envoys hold 'constructive' talks with Zelenskyy in Kyiv

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Sunday, calling the talks "constructive and important" and expressing hope for new paths forward. The meeting followed their Saturday discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said "extremely frank" talks produced ideas for a potential agreement. Putin reiterated Russia's battlefield successes and unchanged war goals, emphasizing the need to address the conflict's root causes. The visit marks the envoys' first official wartime trip to Kyiv, with the White House saying concrete next-step plans will be announced in coming weeks. At least eight people were killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine early Sunday, while Putin ordered a three-day halt to strikes on Kyiv during the American visit.
