US President Donald Trump confirmed that his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are traveling to Moscow and Kiev this weekend to seek to revive talks between Russia and Ukraine to end the war. Trump told journalists that his envoys carry a proposal to end the conflict, recalling that he already ended eight wars during his previous term.
Steve Witkoff, as the White House's special envoy, has maintained regular contacts with Moscow and has already met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is not the first time Witkoff has acted as an intermediary between the two parties, having already made previous trips to keep the dialogue open.
Trump took the opportunity to comment that he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his efforts to end international conflicts. The US President has sought to position himself as the main mediator in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, trying to demonstrate concrete results in his diplomatic approach.
The peace talks between Russians and Ukrainians had been interrupted several months ago, and this new initiative represents an attempt to relaunch the negotiation process. The Trump administration maintains pressure on both parties to accept sitting at the negotiating table and find a solution to the prolonged conflict.
