Story summary

US President Donald Trump has announced that his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will visit Russia and Ukraine this weekend as part of efforts to end the war between the two countries. According to Trump, the envoys will be bringing a proposal aimed at ending the war, although he did not elaborate on what the proposal entails. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that he will meet with the envoys on Sunday after they visit Moscow on Saturday to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The visits come amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which have been fighting for several years. The war has resulted in significant human suffering and economic losses, and efforts to broker a peace deal have been ongoing for some time.

Trump's announcement was made in the Oval Office on Friday, where he also stated that his administration had an "idea for peace" but did not provide further details. Witkoff and Kushner are expected to meet with Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials during their visit to Kyiv, although there have been reports of concerns over safety due to Russian warnings.

In a separate development, Trump has also said that he wants European countries to pay back the US for military aid and munitions previously sent to Ukraine, which were provided free of charge. This comes amid concerns over depleted US stockpiles of ammunition, particularly in light of ongoing conflicts with Iran.

The visits by Witkoff and Kushner are seen as a significant development in efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, it remains unclear whether a lasting peace agreement can be reached given the complex nature of the conflict.
