US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow for talks with Russia ahead of a planned visit to Ukraine on Sunday. This visit follows recent Russian strikes on airports in Kyiv and Boryspil, which Ukrainian President Zelensky suggested were a reaction to preparations for the US envoys' travel. Zelensky stated he would guarantee Russian airspace safety during the visit and called for reciprocal action from Russia for Ukraine. The article notes that Ukraine's airspace has been closed since February 2022. The envoys' trip to Moscow occurs shortly after a visit by the CIA head. Last year, the US, Ukraine, and Russia had indicated progress towards a peace deal following American-brokered talks.
