US envoys to visit Moscow and Kyiv in new push to end Ukraine war
US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to travel to Moscow and then Kyiv this weekend in a new push to end the Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced. Zelenskyy said the pair would visit Moscow first and Kyiv on Sunday, marking their first trip to Ukraine. He pledged no Ukrainian air strikes during the visit, while Russia remained silent on the plan. President Donald Trump confirmed sending the envoys with a proposal but gave no details. The trip follows months of stalled talks, as Trump focused on his war against Iran. A Russian drone struck the SBU headquarters in Kyiv, injuring 12 people, prompting Ukraine to promise a "painful response" and condemn the attack as a significant escalation.
