US envoys make first Kyiv visit amid Ukraine war peace push
The envoys arrived after three hours of talks with Vladimir Putin, and both sides said next steps could be announced in coming weeks.
- 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.
