Overview
- President Trump sent envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv with an undisclosed proposal to end the war, and they held multi‑hour talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday.
- Russia ordered a three‑day suspension of attacks on Kyiv and Ukraine said it would reciprocally pause strikes on Moscow to allow the envoys to hold meetings in both capitals.
- Witkoff and Kushner then flew to Kyiv and met President Volodymyr Zelensky, but no public agreement was announced and the U.S. plan’s terms—including whether it would require Ukraine to cede territory—were not disclosed.
- Fighting and long‑range strikes continued outside the capital pause, with Ukrainian officials reporting civilian deaths and injuries during the weekend operations.
- Diplomats say further steps or a packaged proposal could follow in the coming weeks, but major obstacles—control of Crimea and parts of Donbas and concrete post‑war security guarantees—still block a final deal.
