- Envoys Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday, meeting Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to revive stalled peace efforts after previously meeting Putin in January.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy linked recent Russian strikes on Kyiv and Boryspil airports to the U.S. visit, describing the move as a reaction to preparations for the delegation's travel to Ukraine.
- Russia deployed 167 attack drones overnight, with Ukrainian air defenses suppressing 128, according to the air force, as the air war intensified along the 1,250-kilometer front line.
- Strikes killed five people at an industrial facility in the Dnipropetrovsk region, while attacks in Nikopol and Russia's Belgorod region wounded several, local officials said; peace efforts remain stalled as the war enters its fifth year.
