US Envoys Visit Kyiv After Moscow Talks to Revive Peace Push
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held talks in Kyiv on Sunday, their first official visit to Ukraine, following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow as part of a renewed peace push. The visit comes more than four years after Russia's full-scale invasion, with both sides escalating aerial attacks and Washington's peace efforts having lost momentum. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his government is ready for "constructive" discussion, while a senior Ukrainian official said talks focused on getting through winter. Saturday's Moscow meeting lasted over three hours with no major developments announced, though Russia described it as constructive. Despite an agreement to pause strikes on capitals, both sides traded fire overnight, with Russia launching 108 drones and Ukraine reporting interceptions.
