US envoys push peace plan in Kyiv as Russia threatens Berlin

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Ukrainian officials in Kyiv on Sunday to present a new US peace plan, stating that compromises will be necessary to end the war. The talks followed their late-night Kremlin meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Three rounds of discussions occurred, with the final round including security advisors from Britain, France, and Germany. President Zelensky stressed that territorial issues require presidential-level resolution and reiterated Ukraine's urgent need for Patriot air defense systems. Despite the peace mission, attacks continued across Ukraine, with drones striking 14 regions and a refinery near Moscow. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov threatened Berlin over a drone incident in Leipzig, calling German accusations "the beginning of a war."
