US envoys make first Kyiv visit amid Ukraine war peace push
- U.S. peace envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Sunday, marking a renewed Trump administration push to end Russia's four-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.
- Before arriving in Kyiv, Kushner and Witkoff spent three hours meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday; Putin described the session as "highly useful," though no breakthrough emerged.
- Fighting continues along the 1,200-km front with Russia bombarding multiple cities on Saturday. Ukraine reported striking the Ryazan oil refinery about 480 km inside Russia overnight, causing a fire.
- Zelenskiy believes a window of opportunity exists to reach a peace deal before U.S. presidential elections next summer. He held preparatory meetings with his negotiating team, expressing Ukraine's desire to end the conflict.
- Svitlana Kurylenko, a 19-year-old cafe worker, stated, "We need an agreement that will never be broken," reflecting civilian wariness as a White House official said next steps would be announced in coming weeks.
