Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner plan to visit Moscow and Kyiv, in their first trip to Ukraine
The trip would be their first to Kyiv and is aimed at restarting U.S.-backed peace talks, with a gulf still separating Moscow and Kyiv.
- On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled potential for a peace agreement to end the war, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that negotiators from America will soon visit Moscow and Kyiv.
- After 4-1/2 years of Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two, President Donald Trump pushed for an end to hostilities, aiming to host a summit with Putin when a peace deal materializes.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha told reporters he sees a "new dynamic" in peace efforts, while Chicago wheat futures dropped by more than 2% following Putin's comments.
- Putin claimed Ukrainian threats to civilian aircraft are "acts of state terrorism," warning this "complicates the prospects for bilateral peace talks" despite ongoing intelligence channel communication.
- Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who last visited Moscow in January, are expected to facilitate the upcoming meetings, though neither side has provided reasons to expect immediate progress.
