US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to visit Moscow and Kyiv this weekend to negotiate a settlement of the conflict, Axios reported, citing US administration sources.

TTASSOriginal★★★★☆2026-09-04 16:45
Several sources say US President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected in Kyiv on Sunday for their first visit. The pair, who have made multiple trips to Moscow, have been conducting shuttle diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine and are expected in Kyiv this weekend.
US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are reportedly due to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday before talks with Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday. They are leading Donald Trump's effort to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, although major differences remain, including over Russia's territorial demands.
A planned September 5–6 trip by Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv appeared uncertain after Witkoff allegedly became afraid to travel to Kyiv, according to sources cited by The Kyiv Independent. Axios later reported that the trip was expected to proceed, with Moscow first and Kyiv afterward.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected in Moscow and Kyiv over the weekend in an apparent attempt to revive negotiations to end Russia’s war on Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready for substantive, high-level talks, while Russian officials indicated that progress may be possible but a lasting settlement depends on the territorial issue.
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.
Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had planned to visit Moscow and Kyiv on Sept. 5–6, but discussions shifted to alternative plans after Witkoff “started to get scared,” according to a person familiar with the matter. The source said Russia opposed a Kyiv visit and that the envoys were being warned it was dangerous.
US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are planning visits to Kyiv and Moscow soon, a source told TASS. The pair have already held telephone contacts with the Ukrainian side, while Vladimir Zelensky said provisional dates had been set for their Kyiv visit.

Ukrainian lawmaker Alexey Goncharenko said US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were most likely to arrive in Kyiv on September 6. A source had earlier told TASS that the pair planned to visit both Kyiv and Moscow in the near future.

Argentine President Javier Milei’s push to sanction oil companies drilling offshore in the British-controlled Falkland Islands has put Israeli investors at the center of a sovereignty dispute rooted in the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina.
RReutersOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-04 16:15
Argentine President Javier Milei is using the long-running Falklands sovereignty dispute to threaten sanctions against a major offshore oil project while praising Donald Trump. Analysts say Trump’s questioning of Washington’s traditional position, alongside worsening US-UK relations over Iran, gives Milei an opening to rally support for Argentina’s claim.
US President Donald Trump questioned whether Washington would back Britain if another conflict erupted with Argentina over the Falkland Islands. His remarks added tension to the long-running dispute as Argentine President Javier Milei prepared a televised address on what his government calls diplomatic progress over the islands.
Britain reaffirmed on Friday that the Falkland Islands are British after Argentine President Javier Milei said the “winds of change” appeared to favour Argentina’s claim, pointing to Washington’s willingness to reconsider its neutrality. Donald Trump’s threat to enter the dispute and an oil project near the islands involving British and Israeli partners have reignited tensions.
Downing Street says Britain’s support for the Falkland Islanders’ wish to remain a British overseas territory is “unwavering”. Argentina’s President Javier Milei has renewed his claim to the islands and threatened sanctions against firms involved in planned Sea Lion oilfield work.
Argentine President Javier Milei plans urgent legislation to impose tougher penalties on companies drilling near the Falkland Islands without approval from Buenos Aires. The measures could target firms, suppliers, shareholders and directors linked to the Sea Lion oil project. Britain reaffirmed its commitment to the islands, while critics said Milei was reviving the dispute for domestic political gain amid falling approval ratings and scrutiny of his US ties.
Argentine President Javier Milei said his government would sanction oil companies drilling in the Falkland Islands, which Argentina claims as its territory. The move could heighten tensions with London, days after US President Donald Trump said he was reviewing Washington’s neutral position on the South Atlantic archipelago.
Argentine President Javier Milei has renewed Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands and threatened sanctions against oil companies, while Donald Trump has questioned whether the U.S. will support Britain.
Argentine President Javier Milei announced plans for economic sanctions against companies exploring for oil near the Falkland Islands and proposed building a naval base in Tierra del Fuego. Donald Trump suggested the United States might not help Britain in a future conflict over the islands, while the UK reaffirmed residents’ right to determine their future.
Javier Milei invoked “winds of change” while again asserting Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands. His remarks came after US President Donald Trump questioned whether Washington would support the UK in a potential conflict over the territory, citing Britain’s lack of support in the Iran war.
Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, said in a televised address that “winds of change favourable” to Argentina’s claim over the Falkland Islands were blowing worldwide, citing Donald Trump’s suggestion that the US might reconsider its position. Milei also threatened faster sanctions against those involved in offshore oil projects in the islands. The UK reaffirmed its “long-standing and unwavering” sovereignty position.
Argentine President Javier Milei has threatened sanctions against oil companies operating off the Falkland Islands. He reiterated Argentina’s claim to the British-controlled territory, pointing to waning US support for the UK under President Donald Trump.
Argentine President Javier Milei said the United States could move away from its long-standing neutrality on the Falkland Islands dispute and repeated Argentina’s claim to the territory. He announced sanctions against companies involved in oil activity there, seeking to halt the Sea Lion project, while Britain said its sovereignty position remained unchanged.
Argentine President Javier Milei said Thursday that Argentina would tighten sanctions on companies involved in oil projects around the Falkland Islands, increase defense resources in the south and send Congress a bill to strengthen the country’s response to what he called violations of its sovereignty.
President Javier Milei says Argentina will sanction oil companies operating off the Falkland Islands, renewing Buenos Aires’ sovereignty claim over the British overseas territory. He says the “winds of change” favour Argentina and calls the Sea Lion field, due to be explored by British and Israeli firms, a “clear and present danger”.
Javier Milei said Argentina would not “stand idly by” in the Falklands dispute and announced tougher sanctions against companies connected to oil projects there.
