US envoys Witkoff and Kushner visit Moscow to revive Russia-Ukraine peace talks

abcnews.com

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to revive stalled peace efforts to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as both sides escalated aerial attacks. The visit, confirmed by Russian state media, follows a January Kremlin meeting with President Vladimir Putin; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pledged to halt airstrikes during the trip and expects the envoys in Kyiv on Sunday, though Moscow did not respond to that proposal. The peace push has lost momentum amid U.S. focus on its war with Iran, while Russia intensified bombardments on Kyiv and other cities, including a Friday drone strike on Ukraine's SBU headquarters, as the conflict enters its fifth year.
