US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrive in Moscow with a peace proposal for Ukraine before heading to Kyiv for talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow to meet with Russian officials before traveling to Kyiv on Sunday. The delegation, met upon arrival by Russian presidential representative Kirill Dmitriev, is presenting a new proposal from US President Donald Trump aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov stated that the discussions in Moscow were "extremely frank" and included suggestions regarding potential avenues toward a settlement. The White House noted that the talks involved "concrete plans for next steps," which are scheduled for public announcement in the coming weeks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Telegram that he is set to meet with the US envoys following their discussions in Russia. Previous diplomatic efforts by Washington to negotiate an end to the war have yielded limited progress.
