Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow, beginning a diplomatic mission that is expected to take them to both Russia and Ukraine. The two men serve as special envoys for US President Donald Trump.

Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev met Witkoff and Kushner at Vnukovo Airport, according to TASS, a Russian news agency aligned with the Kremlin. The envoys are due to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, Sept. 5.

US media had previously reported that Moscow would be the first stop, ahead of the pair's first visit to Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on the evening of Sept. 4 that Witkoff and Kushner would travel to Kyiv over the weekend.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not strike Russia during those days and expected Moscow to take reciprocal steps. Trump said his envoys were taking a "proposal to end the war" to both Moscow and Kyiv. The visit followed reports that the envoys were considering alternative plans for their trip to Kyiv because of what the article described as Russian scaremongering.
