US negotiators head to Russian and Ukrainian capitals with fresh peace proposal

President Trump announced that envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Moscow and Kyiv this weekend carrying a new proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine war. A senior Ukrainian official said the envoys are expected in Kyiv on Sunday, while reports suggest they will meet Putin in Moscow on Saturday. The initiative follows stalled peace efforts and escalating long-range attacks that have driven civilian casualties to levels not seen since the conflict began.
