US envoys Witkoff and Kushner head to Kyiv after Moscow talks with Putin

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 for peace in Russia's full-scale invasion. The trip follows a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday. The emissaries aim to revive peace talks amid escalating aerial attacks by both sides, with Russia recently using 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 while the talks take place. Washington's peace push had lost momentum as U.S. attention focused on the Iran war for the past six months. Saturday's Moscow meeting lasted over three hours without breakthroughs, though Moscow offered a "comprehensive assessment" of the battlefield and discussed potential joint economic projects.
