## Key points

- Kushner and Witkoff visited Moscow and Kyiv pushing a US peace plan
- Putin ordered a 72-hour halt on strikes against Kyiv
- Zelensky reported deadly strikes and a first-ever hit on SBU HQ

## Summary

US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff travelled to Moscow, then Kyiv, in the latest American attempt to broker an end to the four-year war between Russia and Ukraine, with Donald Trump saying they carried a proposal to end the fighting. Vladimir Putin responded by ordering a 72-hour halt on strikes against Kyiv while the envoys were in the region, though the diplomatic push unfolded against a backdrop of intensified attacks by both sides that Volodymyr Zelensky said were driving civilian casualties to their highest levels since the invasion began.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the pause was tied directly to the envoys' visit, while Putin's deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, warned that Washington needed to show it was genuinely prepared to invest in a solution reflecting "realities on the ground". Zelensky accused Russia of "deliberate" overnight strikes on airports in Kyiv and Boryspil, which he linked to preparations for a possible US aircraft landing in Ukraine, and said a Russian drone had also hit the Kyiv headquarters of the SBU security service for the first time since the war began. He confirmed a separate strike on Kamianske in the Dnipro region had killed four people and injured five, while Trump would not say whether the American plan involved Ukraine ceding territory, saying only "we have an idea for peace".
