The United States is mounting a high-stakes diplomatic push to end the war in Ukraine, with Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and the President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner meeting Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Washington is optimistic after drafting an updated peace framework following tense exchanges with Europe and fresh talks with Ukrainian negotiators. But Putin’s battlefield gains in Pokrovsk and Vovchansk strengthen Moscow’s leverage, and Russia signals it may accept the proposal only if Ukraine cedes more territory, an idea Kyiv rejects. Zelensky, backed by European leaders like Macron, insists sovereignty is non-negotiable as all sides await Moscow’s response in a pivotal moment for peace.
