Ukraine war: USA hoping for direct talks between Moscow and Kiev
For the first time, Trump's negotiators are visiting not only Moscow, but also Kiev. A breakthrough is not evident after the talks - and the situation on the front line offers little hope.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have held talks in Moscow and Kyiv, but details of their proposals for a peace solution to the Ukraine-Russia conflict remain unclear. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj described the discussions as "extremely substantive" but said little concrete had been achieved. Selenskyj emphasized the need for a high-level meeting to resolve key issues, including the division of disputed territories.
The Ukrainian leader also expressed concerns about the country's vulnerability to Russian missile attacks, particularly during the upcoming winter months.
