\u201cI sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner \u2026 to see whether or not we can get something done,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd there may be a good chance that we\u2019ll do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have an idea for peace,\u201d Trump added without mentioning any specifics about his administration\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n
According to Russian state news agency TASS, Witkoff and Kushner will be in Moscow on Saturday and Sunday, their first visit since January.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said the duo would be in Ukraine on Sunday, marking their first visit to the country since Trump returned to power.<\/p>\n
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said negotiations were \u201cfrozen\u201d. But this weekend\u2019s expected talks come as both sides continue to ramp up air attacks, with Russia hitting the headquarters of Ukraine\u2019s SBU security services on Friday.<\/p>\n
At least 12 people were injured in the strike, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.<\/p>\n
Al Jazeera\u2019s Audrey MacAlpine, reporting from Kyiv, said that while people weren\u2019t shocked the SBU building was hit, it has made them wonder what target might be next.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not so much that people never expected the SBU to be hit, but it really raises the question of if Russia can hit this, what else can it hit?\u201d she said. \u201cSome people here are wondering whether this attack, for example, could be aimed at possibly dissuading\u201d the US envoys\u2019 trips to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Trump told reporters Friday that a peace deal in the more than four-year conflict has remained elusive due to what he described as a \u201cpersonality problem\u201d between both sides.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Zelenskyy and President Putin truly hate each other,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey have serious hate, and it\u2019s getting in the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
While exact figures are unknown, a study released in July by the Center for Strategic and International Studies says the war has cost Russia some 450,000 lives. Ukraine is estimated to have endured between 125,000 and 150,000 fatalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Russia and Ukraine this weekend to help restart peace negotiations.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[43,30,82,25,6,26,196,410,33],"class_list":["post-37511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-donald-trump","tag-europe","tag-news","tag-russia","tag-russia-ukraine-war","tag-ukraine","tag-united-states","tag-us-canada","tag-vladimir-putin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
