Volodymyr Zelensky says envoys "already begun working with the Russian side today"

Two senior U.S. envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, landed in Moscow before planned peace talks, after President Donald Trump said they were carrying a proposal to end the Ukraine war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that he had spoken with the delegation and that the envoys had already opened contacts with Russian officials that day. He approved the agenda for Sunday’s discussions in Kyiv and said Ukraine would hold off on strikes against Moscow through Monday, expecting Russia to show the same restraint toward the Ukrainian capital. Russian state media reported that President Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day pause in attacks on Kyiv for the visit. Reports said the envoys would meet Putin and Zelensky separately; Sunday’s meetings would be their first in Ukraine. Zelensky also characterized Russian strikes on Kyiv and Boryspil airports overnight as a reaction to possible U.S. aircraft use.
