Russia to pause strikes against Kyiv amid Ukraine talks
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Moscow to revive Ukraine peace talks. The trip is the pair's first visit to Kyiv since US President Donald Trump's reelection.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff engaged in talks on Saturday to discuss potential peace negotiations in Ukraine. The Kremlin announced that Russian forces would cease strikes against Kyiv for three days as part of these peace talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had already agreed to pause airstrikes during the negotiations.
Zelenskyy reiterated his commitment to a ceasefire in Kyiv during the talks with the US delegation. Despite US President Donald Trump's previous promises to end the war in Ukraine, he recently acknowledged the complexity of achieving peace. The US envoys were set to visit Ukraine on Sunday following their meetings in Moscow, but there have been doubts about their travel plans.
