US envoys Witkoff and Kushner arrive in Moscow to revive Ukraine peace talks

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to revive Ukraine peace talks, with both sides halting airstrikes for the visit and a meeting with Vladimir Putin expected. The envoys were met by Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev, with reports indicating they would meet Putin later Saturday before traveling to Kyiv on Sunday, their first visit to the Ukrainian capital. President Trump proposed a new, unspecified peace plan Friday, while Ukraine agreed to pause strikes and Putin ordered a 72-hour halt on Kyiv attacks. Major gaps remain, as Russia insists Ukraine cede four regions and abandon NATO membership, which Kyiv rejects. The conflict has intensified recently, with both sides launching long-range strikes, including a Russian drone attack on Ukraine's SBU headquarters and strikes on Kyiv airports that Zelenskyy called an attempt to disrupt the visit.
