US envoys may visit Russia and Ukraine to revive stalled peace talks
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner may visit Russia and Ukraine this weekend to revive stalled peace talks, though major differences remain over territory and NATO. The Kremlin declined to confirm the reported itinerary. Russian state news agency TASS reported the possible Saturday-Sunday visits, citing an undisclosed source. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the envoys were expected in both countries, while a source said Russia opposed the Kyiv leg and sought to alter the plan. Moscow insists Ukraine surrender four claimed regions and abandon NATO ambitions, conditions Kyiv rejects as surrender. Putin said an agreement remains possible, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted conditions for a settlement are currently absent.
