US envoys make first Ukraine visit as Trump pushes peace plan

dhnet.be (French)

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to make their first visit to Ukraine on Sunday, following talks in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of a new US peace push. The White House says substantive next-step plans will be announced in coming weeks. The American government plane landed in Rzeszow, Poland, near the Ukrainian border, with the envoys expected to travel by train due to closed Ukrainian airports. Russian "demonstrative" strikes hit Kyiv's two airports before the visit, and Putin ordered a three-day pause on strikes on Kyiv during the contacts. President Donald Trump attributed the war, which began with Russia's large-scale offensive in February 2022, to a "personality problem" between Zelensky and Putin. Trump said "we have an idea for peace" but did not specify whether the proposal involves Ukrainian territorial concessions.
