US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Kiev for their first mediation visit to Ukraine, following talks in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday. In Kiev, they are scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss ending Russia's invasion. Zelenskyy stated Sunday that Ukraine seeks peace, security guarantees, and an honorable end to the war, saying proposals are ready. Negotiations have been effectively stalled since early this year, with Russia maintaining absolute demands on territory and Ukrainian sovereignty. Saturday's Moscow talks reportedly yielded no clear progress.
