US President Donald Trump said special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Ukraine and Russia this weekend with a proposal to “end the war” and revive peace negotiations. The expected talks come as Russia continues air attacks; a strike on Ukraine’s SBU headquarters injured at least 12 people.
AAl JazeeraOriginal★★★★☆2026-09-04 21:19
Ukrainska Pravda, citing military sources, reported that some Ukrainian army units were ordered to stop fighting from midnight Sept. 5 through Sept. 8, though it was unclear which units were covered. U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are due to visit Moscow and Kyiv for negotiations. Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine would avoid aerial strikes on Russia during their visit and urged Moscow to do the same.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv would keep Russian airspace functioning normally and launch no airstrikes while Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visit Moscow. He said the negotiators would then travel to Kyiv on September 6 and called on Russia to suspend its own strikes during the talks.
US President Donald Trump said he believes American shuttle diplomacy could help overcome the conflict in Ukraine. He confirmed that envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are undertaking a new mission to Russia, calling them “two great negotiators.”
US President Donald Trump did not confirm that special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner would take new US proposals on a Ukraine settlement to Russia. Asked about a new settlement proposal, Trump said no, adding that they were carrying a proposal to end the war.
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. The outlet said they would meet President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Saturday and Vladimir Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday. The White House has not confirmed the trip, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said contacts would be announced when they occur.
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. Russia’s MOEX index briefly rose 2% after the plans were confirmed.
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.
US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to travel to Moscow and Kyiv on September 5-6, with Moscow as their first stop, a source said.
