aljazeera.com

President Donald Trump announced that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Kyiv and Moscow this weekend to revive peace negotiations and bring a proposal to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Trump said the envoys are attempting to restart talks, citing a "personality problem" between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin as a key obstacle. The trip marks their first visit to both countries since Trump returned to power, with meetings scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The diplomatic push comes amid continued hostilities, including a Russian strike on Ukraine's SBU security headquarters that injured 12 people. A July study estimates the war has cost Russia about 450,000 lives and Ukraine between 125,000 and 150,000 fatalities.
