Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of deliberately striking Kyiv's two main airports overnight, saying the attack was a reaction to preparations for the US to potentially fly its envoys into Ukraine during the current peace push. This came as a private jet believed to be carrying Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff touched down in Moscow, the start of the latest US bid to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, with Donald Trump saying the pair were carrying "a proposal to end the war" without confirming whether it involved Ukraine ceding territory.

Zelensky said the strikes on Kyiv and Boryspil airports would prompt Ukraine to adjust its operations regarding Russian airspace next week, while stressing there would be no threat to diplomacy from Ukraine's side. He also reported that a separate Russian strike on Kamianske in the Dnipro region killed four people and injured five others. Axios reported that Witkoff and Kushner are due to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday before travelling to Kyiv to meet Zelensky on Sunday, in what would be their first visit to the Ukrainian capital; the trip follows a Russian drone strike on the Kyiv headquarters of Ukraine's SBU security service, the first such attack on the agency since the invasion began.
