Trump Envoy Returns to Moscow Amid Scrutiny of Ukraine Peace Plan

Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has returned to Moscow for talks, reigniting debate over a controversial peace proposal for Ukraine. He is accompanied only by Jared Kushner, the former president's son-in-law, and an interpreter. The trip follows a week of intense diplomatic efforts by Ukraine and its European allies. They sought to counter a separate peace plan that reportedly originated in Moscow. Officials feared that plan would heavily favor Russian interests. Witkoff's latest mission comes after preliminary discussions in Florida. Analysts are now questioning whether those talks improved Ukraine's negotiating position. The central issue is whether the U.S. will push for a firm or a conciliatory stance with the Kremlin. The situation remains fluid, with the content of Witkoff's discussions in Moscow not yet public. The outcome could significantly influence the next phase of the conflict.
