US envoys visit Moscow to revive Russia-Ukraine peace talks

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to revive stalled peace efforts to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as both sides escalated aerial attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed halting airstrikes during their visit, but Moscow did not publicly respond. The visit marks the envoys' first to Moscow since January, when they met Russian President Vladimir Putin, and they have never visited Kyiv. Zelenskyy said he expects them in the Ukrainian capital on Sunday, while Russia intensified bombardments on Kyiv, including a Friday drone strike on the SBU headquarters. Peace efforts have lost momentum as U.S. attention shifted to its war with Iran, now in its fifth year of fighting. Russia launched 167 attack drones and ballistic missiles overnight, killing five at a Ukrainian industrial site, while Ukraine struck Russian border regions, wounding three.
