Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy and US officials Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are set to visit Kyiv and Moscow this weekend to discuss a potential peace agreement. Zelensky's proposal for a ceasefire comes after a recent surge in Russian airstrikes, including a daytime attack on Ukrainian intelligence headquarters that killed one person and injured five. The US envoy's visits mark their first to Kyiv, aimed at negotiating a resolution to the four-and-a-half-year conflict.",
