US sends Kushner and Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv for peace talks

US President Donald Trump announced a new diplomatic push to end Russia's war in Ukraine, sending envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv this weekend with a peace proposal. Trump expressed confidence Russia will not attack NATO territory. The envoys are scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on Saturday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Sunday, according to Axios. Trump called them "great negotiators" but did not specify whether the plan involves Ukrainian territorial concessions to Russia. Zelenskyy proposed a ceasefire during the talks, pledging no Ukrainian air strikes if Russia reciprocates. The visit follows German accusations that Russia attempted a drone attack at Leipzig/Halle airport, prompting EU sanctions, which Moscow denies.
