From Kremlin to Kyiv in 24 hours: Trump’s envoys bring Putin talks to Zelensky’s doorstep

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Kyiv after holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. The delegation was welcomed by senior Ukrainian officials before meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Ukrainian capital. Zelensky introduced the U.S. envoys to members of his team, and the delegation later visited St. Sophia Cathedral. The rapid journey from Moscow to Kyiv comes as the Trump administration pushes a new peace initiative aimed at ending the Ukraine war. After three-hour talks with Putin, attention now turns to Zelensky and whether Washington’s diplomatic efforts can bridge the gap between Russia and Ukraine.
