Donald Trump’s efforts to broker peace in Ukraine moved again over the weekend. On Saturday, his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Vladimir Putin in Moscow. On Sunday, they traveled to Kyiv for a first meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The meetings have revived the question of whether the diplomatic push can produce a change in the war’s course. So far, the main obstacle to reaching peace has been the Kremlin’s position, as the party that started the war.
The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War is examining whether there is now any prospect of a shift in Russia’s stance.
