Zelenskyy offers airstrike pause during U.S. envoys' Moscow visit

abc15.com

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 pause airstrikes during their visit, a proposal Moscow did not publicly address. The trip follows intensified drone and missile attacks by both sides, with Russia striking Kyiv airports and killing five at a Ukrainian industrial site, while Ukraine launched large-scale aerial assaults. The envoys last visited Moscow in January and are expected in Kyiv on Sunday. Washington's push to end the five-year war has lost momentum amid U.S. focus on its conflict with Iran, and Zelenskyy linked Russian strikes to the envoys' travel plans, vowing no threats to diplomacy from Ukraine's side.
