Witkoff and Jared Kushner, envoys for President Trump, arrived in Kyiv on Sept. 6 to press a US-backed proposal officials said aims to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Officials said the envoys traveled after meetings in Moscow earlier this week and were expected to hold talks with Ukrainian officials; the participants did not disclose the proposal’s terms or a public timetable for meetings.

Officials said the visit follows direct talks in Moscow that the envoys held with Russian interlocutors; Ukrainian and US officials have not released a text of the proposal or confirmed who will negotiate specific terms. The envoys are private-sector figures serving as presidential representatives, officials said.

The trip adds a new diplomatic channel alongside ongoing government-to-government exchanges, officials said, and could alter negotiating dynamics if Kyiv or Moscow adopt elements of the plan. Officials declined to say whether the proposal includes security guarantees, troop withdrawals, or timelines.

Officials said they expected to provide updates in the coming days but did not give a firm date for next reports. Observers and markets will likely watch any official text and statements from Kyiv and Moscow for clarity on whether the initiative changes the diplomatic or battlefield calculus.
