Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner reportedly arrive in Moscow amid Ukraine peace push

A business jet believed to be carrying U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner landed in Moscow, Russia's Interfax news agency reported, as Washington renewed efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump said on Friday that Witkoff and Kushner would travel to Russia and Ukraine over the weekend. The envoys are expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday, the U.S. news site Axios reported, citing sources. Zelenskyy has also confirmed that the pair would visit Kyiv after Moscow.

Trump did not specify the trip's exact purpose, but said the envoys would take a U.S. proposal to Russia for ending the war in Ukraine. His efforts to bring the conflict to an end have continued during his second presidential term, although negotiations have been almost stalled in recent months.

Witkoff and Kushner have visited Moscow several times during the war, but have not traveled to Kyiv. Zelenskyy said on Saturday on Telegram that Russia had attacked airports in Kyiv and in Boryspil, outside the capital. He described the strikes as a clear reaction from Russia to the visit by Witkoff and Kushner.
