Trump’s envoys arrive in Moscow for Russia-Ukraine peace push

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to attempt a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, which has been in conflict for over four years. They are expected to travel to Kyiv on Sunday, marking the first time the businessman friends have visited since Trump took office. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of attempting to disrupt the envoys' visit through overnight strikes on Kyiv's two airports and a civilian target in the Dnipro region, resulting in five deaths.

Zelensky stated that there would be no Ukrainian threats to diplomacy during the talks. Witkoff and Kushner are seasoned negotiators, and they brought a proposal to end the war during their visit. The U.S. president provided no details on the proposal, but hinted at a potential solution. The renewed peace efforts occur amid a surge in long-range missile and drone attacks between Russia and Ukraine, with Russia striking Ukraine's SBU security service headquarters in Kyiv just hours before Trump's announcement.
