US Envoys Engage Russian and Ukrainian Leaders to Revive Peace Negotiations

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met separately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, aiming to restart peace talks for the Russia-Ukraine war. While a temporary agreement to avoid striking capitals was reached, significant differences persist. Ukraine seeks a just resolution preventing future aggression, whereas Russia demands Ukraine abandon NATO aspirations and cede territory.
