Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, US negotiators, are set to visit Moscow and Kyiv this weekend as part of ongoing efforts to broker peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Despite these diplomatic efforts, significant differences remain between the two sides, with Ukrainian officials expressing skepticism about Russia's demands.
Recent developments include a drone strike in Kyiv, which targeted the office of Ukraine's security chief. President Putin acknowledged the possibility of a peace deal but reiterated his demands for territorial concessions from Ukraine, which have been firmly rejected by Kyiv and its allies.
