Zelenskyy offers airstrike pause during US envoys' Moscow visit

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to revive stalled peace efforts, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered to halt airstrikes during their visit and urged Moscow to reciprocate, with no immediate public response from Russia. The visit came amid intensified drone and missile attacks from both sides, including Russian strikes that killed five workers at a Ukrainian industrial site and damaged a Kyiv residential building. Zelenskyy linked Russian overnight attacks on airports to the envoys' planned travel, saying Ukraine would adjust operations but pose no threat to diplomacy. The peace push has lost momentum as U.S. attention shifted to its war with Iran, and the envoys' last Moscow trip was in January. They have never visited Kyiv, though Zelenskyy expected them Sunday, as Russia exploits Ukraine's air defense shortages with relentless bombardments.
