During a meeting in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, former President Donald Trump's envoys discussed "substantive plans for next steps" to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, according to the White House. These proposed steps would be revealed in the coming weeks, with further meetings scheduled in Ukraine the following day.
At the meeting, the U.S. envoys reportedly offered "a number of ideas" on how to resolve the situation, though specific details were not disclosed by Kremlin spokesman Yuri Ushakov. Russian officials stated that Moscow remains confident it can achieve its military objectives of capturing eastern Ukraine, suggesting that their stance on the war has not altered.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alleged that Russian airstrikes targeting Kyiv and the Boryspil international airport were a response to potential negotiations between U.S. officials and Ukrainian leaders. Zelenskyy vowed that Kyiv would adjust its operations regarding Russian airspace, which has become increasingly dangerous due to the presence of Ukrainian drones and missiles.
Despite calls for diplomacy, the conflict has persisted for its third year, resulting in significant civilian casualties and displacement.
