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.
O presidente da Ucrânia, Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmou que se reunirá com os embaixadores no domingo, depois que eles visitarem Moscou no sábado para manterem conversas com o presidente russo 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.
Eles estão trazendo com eles uma proposta para acabar com a guerra," Trump disse aos repórteres quando foi questionado sobre as visitas.
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.
Em um post nas redes sociais, Zelensky disse que havia ordenado a Poklad, que lidera o serviço de segurança da SBU, que respondesse 'adequadamente' ao ataque.
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.
A agência de notícias estatal russa Tass disse que Witkoff e Kushner deveriam 'esperava‑se que chegassem em Moscou e depois em Kiev… em 5‑6 de setembro', citando uma fonte.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later told reporters: "I wouldn't announce anything, but when these contacts take place, we will inform you.
Meanwhile, Putin told an international economic forum on Thursday that "there are chances" a peace deal could be reached.
Primeiro de tudo, Moscow e Kyiv devem concordar entre si, ele disse.
But he showed no sign of backing down from his maximalist demands, which included more territorial concessions from Ukraine.
Kyiv and its European allies have repeatedly rejected Putin's terms saying they are tantamount to capitulation.
