US envoys hold 'important talks' with Zelenskyy in Kyiv

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held "constructive and important" talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Sunday, following their meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Moscow the previous day. Kushner said the trip hopefully opened "new paths forward," though few details were released. Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov described the Moscow talks as "extremely frank," with Putin emphasizing Russia's battlefield gains and unchanged war goals. The White House said concrete next-step plans will be announced in coming weeks. The visit marked the envoys' first official wartime trip to Kyiv. At least eight people were killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine early Sunday, despite Putin ordering a three-day halt to strikes on the capital during the American visit. Russia controls nearly a fifth of Ukrainian territory.
