The envoys arrived after three hours of talks with Vladimir Putin, and both sides said next steps could be announced in coming weeks.
- U.S. peace envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Sunday, marking a renewed Trump administration push to end Russia's four-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.
- Before arriving in Kyiv, Kushner and Witkoff spent three hours meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday; Putin described the session as "highly useful," though no breakthrough emerged.
- Fighting continues along the 1,200-km front with Russia bombarding multiple cities on Saturday. Ukraine reported striking the Ryazan oil refinery about 480 km inside Russia overnight, causing a fire.
