A plane believed to be carrying US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner landed in Moscow Saturday, reportedly to discuss a potential peace proposal for the Ukraine conflict. This visit will include stops in both Russia and Ukraine. Simultaneously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported Russian attacks on Kyiv and Boryspil airports, facilities potentially relevant to any incoming diplomatic missions. Zelenskyy has characterized these strikes as a direct response to ongoing diplomatic efforts, specifically labeling them as a reaction to “American diplomacy.” Despite Ukraine’s airspace being closed since 2022, discussions surrounding the envoys’ potential access have been underway. A separate Russian missile strike on a steel plant in the Dnipro region resulted in five fatalities and halted production, according to Metinvest. These events highlight the volatile situation as diplomatic initiatives proceed.
