US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner plan to visit Moscow and Kyiv on September 5-6 to continue talks on ending Russia's war against Ukraine, according to Russian state agency TASS and Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko. The Kyiv Independent reports the Kyiv leg is in question because Witkoff has grown fearful of the trip amid Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital. The source says Moscow discourages the visit, calling it dangerous, and alternatives are being discussed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously confirmed the envoys' possible visit. Russian forces have continuously attacked Kyiv with missiles and drones, hitting civilian infrastructure, while a drone strike on Zhuliany airfield and a fire in Brovary were reported on September 4.
