US envoys to visit Moscow and Kyiv in renewed 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 renewed US 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 US President Donald Trump confirmed sending the envoys with a proposal but gave no details. Russia declined to confirm the visit. The trip follows months of stalled talks as Trump focused on Iran. A Russian drone struck the SBU intelligence headquarters in Kyiv, injuring 12 people, prompting Ukraine to promise a "painful response" and condemn the attack as a significant escalation.
