US envoys Witkoff and Kushner set for talks in Kyiv after meeting with Putin in Moscow
U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are visiting Kyiv following a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss potential peace efforts. Despite the diplomatic push, fighting continues with intensified aerial attacks on both sides.
Why it matters
This visit represents a high-level attempt to revive peace negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine conflict amidst a shift in U.S. foreign policy focus.
KYIV, Ukraine — U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to arrive in Kyiv on Sunday in their first visit to the Ukrainian capital as part of a renewed push for peace in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The visit follows a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday, in an attempt to revive peace talks during escalating aerial attacks by both sides.
Washington's push to end the fighting has lost momentum, with the United States focused for the past six months on the Iran war. The last known visit to Moscow by Witkoff and Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, was in January when they also held talks with Putin at the Kremlin.
