US envoys bring refreshed peace ideas to Kyiv as talks linger

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kyiv with new, reportedly more effective peace proposals, signaling ongoing talks but no breakthrough yet. Zelensky warned the war could extend into winter, while Washington called the discussions substantive and promising. The visit, marked by a Peace Express train and European attendance, followed Putin’s Moscow trip; the White House said substantive plans would be announced in coming weeks, though Kyiv remains wary that major territorial issues require a leaders’ meeting.
