What happened, for context

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow on September 5, 2026, for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, followed by a first-ever trip to Kyiv on September 6 to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of renewed diplomatic efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Both Moscow and Kyiv meetings were described as substantive by participants, but no breakthrough was announced and fundamental disagreements on territorial concessions and security guarantees remained.
