US envoys Witkoff, Kushner arrive in Moscow for talks on ending Russia’s war
Their plane landed at Moscow's Vnukovo airport ahead of expected meetings with Russian officials. Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev is expected to meet the U.S. delegation during their visit.
U.S. diplomats Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner touched down in Moscow on September 5th to engage in discussions aimed at bringing an end to Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine, according to Russian state media. This diplomatic mission arrives at a time when there is a renewed push by the United States to revive peace negotiations that have thus far stalled.
Upon landing at Moscow's Vnukovo airport, the duo were set to meet with Russian officials, following a visit that is expected to culminate with a trip to Kyiv. Kyiv's President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that both Witkoff and Kushner are slated to arrive in the Ukrainian capital on September 6th, just hours after Russia resumed fresh attacks across Ukraine, causing at least seven deaths and inflicting injuries on at least 51 individuals over the previous day.
Despite a proposal from Kyiv for a temporary ceasefire before the commencement of the diplomatic talks, Russia has reportedly continued its military operations.
