US Envoys Present Ukraine Peace Ideas to Putin in Moscow Talks

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow late Saturday for over three hours of "frank" talks, presenting "a number of ideas" on ending the Ukraine war, according to the Kremlin. The Americans proposed possible settlement routes, though no details were given. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia remained "confident" in achieving its military goals of seizing the rest of eastern Ukraine. The visit follows a summer of escalation and precedes the envoys' first trip to Kyiv. Both sides agreed to a three-day truce on striking each other's capitals to facilitate negotiations. Putin thanked Trump for his peace efforts, while Kyiv reported 10 civilian deaths from Russian strikes on Saturday.
