Trump's peace envoys to visit Moscow and Kyiv over weekend

US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Russia and Ukraine this weekend, as efforts to end the war appear to be gathering pace.

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed he will meet with the envoys on Sunday, after they visit Moscow on Saturday to hold talks with meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Witkoff and Kushner have led US President Donald Trump's efforts to broker a peace deal, but a gulf remains between the two warring sides.

Earlier on Friday, Zelensky said a Russian drone hit the office of Ukraine's security chief Oleksandr Poklad in Kyiv. Poklad appears to be unharmed.

In a post on social media, Zelensky said he had ordered Poklad, who head the SBU security service, to respond "adequately" to the attack.

Witkoff and Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, have visited Russia multiple times, but the purported talks will be the first in Ukraine.

Zelensky said he would guarantee the safety of Russian airspace during the envoys' visit and called for Russia to do the same for Ukraine.

Russia's state news agency Tass said Witkoff and Kushner were "expected to arrive in Moscow and then to Kyiv... on 5-6 September", quoting a source.
