Witkoff, Kushnerarrive in Moscow for peace talks

U.S. special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday for peace talks regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. They were greeted by Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who had maintained contact with the U.S. negotiators during a recent pause in Russian visits. Witkoff and Kushner are anticipated to visit Ukraine on Sunday, following their Moscow meeting.

The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, announced this prior to their Moscow arrival. Zelenskiy also mentioned that Russia had targeted two Ukrainian airports before their visit. Despite a fresh proposal from the United States, the war between Russia and Ukraine remains unresolved, with significant gaps in communication and differing objectives.

The Kremlin has steadfastly maintained its stance on a previous proposal, demanding Ukraine to cede certain territories and withdraw from NATO.
