Summary
Washington’s push to end the fighting has lost momentum as U.S. attention has been focused for the past six months on the Iran war. Both U.S. envoys will also visit Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, for the first time in the peace process on Sunday, Ukrainian officials said. At the start of the meeting in Moscow, Putin asked Kushner and Witkoff to pass on his warm wishes and gratitude to Trump, and described the situation in Ukraine as “not simple.” Russian forces launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. “(Russian President Vladimir) Putin has ordered that no strikes be carried out against Kyiv for three days, starting at midnight today,” presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s Tass news agency.
