usnews.com

U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Russia and Ukraine this weekend to advance Ukraine peace talks, Russian news agency TASS reported, citing a source, though there was no immediate confirmation. The envoys last visited Moscow in January for four hours of late-night talks with President Vladimir Putin. Discussions on a Ukraine visit were ongoing, with September 6 a possible date, and it would be their first trip to Kyiv. A source said Russia is trying to change the plan to avoid the Kyiv visit. A vast gulf remains between the sides on ending the 4-1/2-year war, with Putin demanding more territory and Ukraine rejecting terms it sees as surrender.
