Trump's special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are expected to travel to Moscow and Kyiv this weekend to try to unblock peace negotiations on the war in Ukraine. This trip represents a new attempt by the Trump administration to bring the positions of the two parties in conflict closer together.
The two American representatives plan to visit both the Russian and Ukrainian capitals during this trip, at a time when peace negotiations appear to be at an impasse. The American administration has been affirming its desire to play a mediating role in this conflict.
The Kremlin admitted the possibility of a solution to the conflict, but lowered expectations regarding an immediate agreement. This position contrasts with previous mediation attempts that failed to achieve significant progress in the negotiations.
The trip by Trump's envoys occurs at a crucial moment in the conflict, when both parties maintain distant positions on the conditions for a possible ceasefire. The international community is watching this new diplomatic initiative with attention.
