· World · The Hindu, BBC News, France 24
U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, have departed Kyiv following talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on ending the war with Russia. The envoys arrived in the Ukrainian capital by train after holding previous discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. A senior Ukrainian presidential official stated that Washington's envoys brought new, more effective proposals on resolving the conflict. Mr. Zelenskyy hosted the envoys alongside top security officials, negotiators, and European national security advisors, showing them the historic Saint Sophia's Cathedral. The visit followed a summer of escalation in Europe's worst conflict since World War II, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions.
Why it matters
The direct engagement by U.S. envoys with both Moscow and Kyiv signals a renewed diplomatic push to revive negotiations and address the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
