Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff are reportedly planning to travel to Moscow this month for peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, amid escalating tensions between the US and Russia. This potential meeting follows Kushner and Witkoff's earlier discussions with Kyiv's allies in Paris, where Britain and France outlined plans to deploy troops in the event of a peace deal. Despite these diplomatic efforts, Russia maintains its maximalist demands, and Ukraine continues to seek security assurances from Washington. The article also highlights recent Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, including a "massive" overnight strike on Kryvyi Rih that left thousands without power and heat, and a Ukrainian drone attack that caused fires at an industrial facility in Rostov-on-Don.
