  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has dispatched envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv with a new plan to end the war in Ukraine. According to Trump, the pair will seek to gauge whether progress towards peace is possible. They are expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday and then Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday.\n\nThe trip marks an effort to break a diplomatic stalemate in Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as per some reports. Trump told reporters that the two negotiators would seek to gauge whether progress towards peace was possible, saying \"I sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two great negotiators. They've done a great job, and we sent them over to see whether or not we can get something done.\"\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on September 4 that Witkoff and Kushner will visit Ukraine on September 6, after visiting Russia on September 5. Zelenskyy said Ukraine suspended long-range strikes on Russia for that period to ensure the \"normal functioning of Russian airspace.\" The Institute for the Study of War said Russia's stance shows Moscow is unwilling to recognize the United States as a mediator in peace talks.",
