US Envoys Head To Kyiv After Talks With Putin On Ukraine War

According to the BBC, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are due to arrive in Kyiv on Sunday after holding three hours of closed-door talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on ending the war in Ukraine. The White House said the pair discussed substantive next steps with Putin, while an announcement is expected in the coming weeks as efforts to end the conflict gather pace. Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov described the meeting as constructive and extremely frank. He said the talks also covered economic issues and potential major, mutually beneficial Russian-American projects, and that the Russian side stressed the need to address the root causes of the conflict. Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have agreed to halt strikes on each other's capitals for three days.
