Witkoff and Kushner head to Moscow and Kyiv to talk peace

Original version ·

A real estate tycoon and a former senior advisor walk into a war zone. Trump is officially dispatching his envoys to the frontlines this weekend.

The weekend itinerary is pretty unreal. On Saturday, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner stop by the Kremlin to talk to Vladimir Putin. On Sunday, they head straight into Kyiv to sit down with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This trip was pushed back for months for every reason under the sun, but it is finally happening. It marks the very first time envoys from this administration will actually set foot in Kyiv. Just picture the cultural whiplash of stepping out of a gilded palace in Moscow on Saturday afternoon, only to wake up in Kyiv to air raid alerts on Sunday morning.

New York real estate dealmakers really do seem to believe every existential crisis is just an aggressive lease negotiation waiting for a handshake.
