According to multiple reports, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to visit Moscow and Kyiv this weekend to discuss a proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Former President Donald Trump confirmed the diplomatic mission, stating that his team has "an idea for peace."

The reports indicate that the envoys' visit follows their previous meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in January, where they engaged in lengthy discussions. During that encounter, which lasted four hours, talks focused on various aspects of the U.S.-Russia relationship.

Trump did not disclose specific details about the peace proposal, including whether it might involve territorial concessions from Ukraine, a subject he has suggested in the past. His comments come amid a backdrop of ongoing conflict and international diplomatic efforts aimed at reaching a resolution.

In recent weeks, uncertainty has surrounded the peace talks, particularly concerning safety issues faced by Trump’s representatives. Reports suggest that these safety concerns have contributed to doubts regarding the feasibility of the planned discussions in Moscow and Kyiv.

The planned visit by Witkoff and Kushner is part of an ongoing effort by Trump to facilitate negotiations aimed at bringing about an end to the war. The envoys are expected to meet with key officials in both nations to outline the proposed plan.

The situation remains fluid, and further details about their itinerary and the specific elements of the peace proposal are anticipated when they return from their trip.
