US envoys Witkoff and Kushner head to Kyiv after Moscow talks

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to arrive in Kyiv on Sunday for their first visit to the Ukrainian capital as part of a renewed push to end Russia's full-scale invasion, following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday. The visit aims to revive peace talks amid escalating aerial attacks by both sides, with Russia using fast-flying jet-powered drones and air-raid sirens now routine in Kyiv. Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to pause strikes on each other's capitals during the negotiations, as Washington's focus had shifted to the Iran war for the past six months. Saturday's Moscow meeting lasted over three hours behind closed doors with no breakthroughs announced, though Putin's adviser Yuri Ushakov called it constructive and frank, noting discussions also covered economic issues and potential joint projects between Russia and America.
