> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would not hold direct talks with Kiev to end its “terrorist activities” before US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visit Russia. He suggested the Americans would make that demand instead. The envoys are reportedly due to visit Moscow and Kiev on September 5-6.
