Trump envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are set to visit Russia and Ukraine with a peace proposal, marking a potential shift in diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. The move comes as tensions remain high amid ongoing conflict and recent drone strikes.
The envoys, who have previously met with Russian officials, are expected to travel to Kyiv on Sunday following talks in Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pledged to pause airstrikes during negotiations to ensure the safety of negotiators.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha called the drone strike on the SBU headquarters a major escalation, highlighting Moscow's rejection of diplomacy. Zelenskyy also vowed a response to the attack, underscoring the ongoing challenges in achieving a ceasefire and ending the war.
