US envoys Kushner and Witkoff press Kyiv push for end to war

US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Kyiv for talks with Zelenskyy on ending the war, coming on the heels of discussions with Putin in Moscow. The mission centers on a Washington- Kyiv peace plan, though key points remain unresolved; both sides noted “substantive” next steps, while a three-day lull on strikes was pledged to ease the envoys’ passage. Kyiv has faced drone strikes and airspace closures amid ongoing attacks, and Ukraine faces winter concerns and Patriot missile shortages as diplomacy continues.
